| Apex 435 mods? Ok, so I've ordered a cheap Apex 435 mic. What can I mod to improve the soundquality? Yes, I'm handy with a soldeting Iron. No, i don't want to stick a $400,- diaphragm in it. Mark |

| Mark, Have you done the mod yet? I am very interested. D. Thomas implied that you could mod a 435 to more closely match a U87's sound than the 460. WE |

| Use a Siliconix J305 fet. Use Hitachi 2sa1084/2sc2545 bipolar transistors. Use MIT poly film caps. Rework the oscillator to increase sensitivity and to gain s/n. Jim Williams Audio Upgrades |
