Have you heard about anywhere that does repairs on the capsules? One of mine recently started making a lot of self-generated wind-like noise.

I know a couple of addresses here in Germany, where the mics originated. Siegfried Thiersch, the original engineer for Gefell back in the day, still does reskinning of the nickel capsules. That’s where I had mine done. www.thiersch-mic.de/ Microtech Gefell also repair the capsules but afaik the reskin with polymer instead of nickel. You’d have to ask them.

hey man, thats a lovely natural sound! do you know how much it is to mod them to 48v? all the best from denmark

Thank you! I think the XLR Mod was about 100/120€ plus another 80 for a new nickel skin for the capsule.
