And that's how a "V" can sound like a "U". This is Michael Joly writing, the founder of OktavaMod. Read on or click "contact me" and send me your questions. Here's how the MJE-K47 Modification Suite will make your v87 sound like a U87 –
- New MJE-K47 capsule for classic "Neumann-esque" timbre balance with warm proximity effect and freedom from sibilance, excessive brightness or edginess
- Single layer headbasket for greater openness, transparency and detail
- Capsule platform diffuser to eliminate vertical standing wave coloration
- Evidence Audio LYRIC HG solid core wiring for improved harmonic time alignment and more solid bass response
- Upgraded input coupling capacitor for reduced distortion, better detail and improved frequency response
- Upgraded, non-electrolytic signal path capacitors for lower distortion, better detail and improved frequency response
Introducing the MJE-K47 Capsule
 The right capsule for flat frequency response circuit mics
The MJE-K47 (Michael Joly Editions K47-style) capsule is the result of my painstaking search to find a capsule manufacturer to produce a K47-style capsule that would meet my performance, quality control and price specifications.
Each MJE-K47 capsule is individually tested in an anechoic chamber. Your modified mic will be returned with a signed Certificate of Authenticity from me - plus your individual capsule's actual anechoic chamber response. Which by the way tracks an actual K47 capsule response within +/- 1.5 dB up to 10kHz. Then my specially tuned 3 micron diaphragm extends HF response out to 16kHz. Vintage sound with a touch of modern "air".
