I have 2 KMS105, one was bought used, and turned out to be moisture sensitive, though it works fine if kept dry, still its not a great deal of use as a live vocal mic, the other is new.
I bought these as the best available live vocal mic, and they do significantly outperform anything else I've tried for that purpose.
I had hoped to use them in the studio too for instruments, but I am finding that in the more critical listening environment of the studio they are rather hard and thin sounding, in a way I am learning to associate with mics with complex circuits full of surface mount parts.
So I am wondering do people here think that the KMS105 would be improved by replacing the electronics? I am talking about outright replacement board and all so that the original board can be put back at any time and the mic restored to stock. In any case modding a surface mount board is no fun at all.
I have noticed that the capsules actually fit on my Peluso CEMC6 bodies, though I haven't yet had the nerve to turn them on like that, any reason not to?
what do you think about outright replacing the electronics with a very simple fet circuit? if so which one?
