If Oliver put in one of his tranformers it's either as good or better than the original.
I think that for almost any mic with an original M7 capsule the sale should be contingent on it being inspected by a qualified third party. Ask the seller if a known and respected mic specialist can look at it before final payment. They'll do it if they are confident in what they are selling. It's a buffer and protects both buyer and seller. The seller too, because in 6 months the buyer can't say, "well I think it might have been bad when I bought it."
When is the last time someone qualified took a look at the capsule?
I almost bought a CMV563/m7/m9/m55 a while ago and had a thread on here which yeilded a bunch of great info and commentary.
CMV563 on ebay.. what's your opinion?
Also search for "CMV563" (tons on it):

General concensus is that it's a very good value and fairly useful. If you get a good quality and good sounding M7 then you have a good chance at this being a fantastic sounding microphone.

I've been convinced by you all that a Nuemann CMV563 is the way to go for the money. The one that I am looking at is all original with an M7 and M55 capsule and looks to be in great shape. The only thing is the output transformer has been replaced by oliver at funkenkwerk with a TAB telefunken output transformer. The owner says the mic sounds punchier and smoother now. Is this something I should stay away from and look for a more original deal or is this something standard with these mics and should be o.k.
Please help. I don't want to buy a dud!!!!!
Thanks in advance guys. |
