About 7-8 years ago at the AES convention, B&K was showing a small diaphragm mic that was switchable between a tube and fet circuit. I believe that it was an extremely limited edition of only 100 made. Does anyone recall seeing this mic or have any info about it???
Yes I saw it. It was gold with a clear plexy body so you could see the innards. Nice build quality, but the price was $9k as I remember. I brought over a Audio Upgrades High Speed Preamp for them to do demos as they brought no listening gear to their booth. I didn't see it the next year.
Plugging a DPA into a high end tube preamp may have taken away the usefulness of this design.
