Introduzione
The microphone capsule is the main part that makes the microphone work. It is essential that this part is functioning properly.
Cosa ti serve
-
-
Grab the microphone base with one hand. With the other hand, grab just below the grille (the collar). Twist the collar clockwise to loosen it.
-
-
-
Remove the yellow and green wires from the face plate.
This guide was done as part of the capsule replacement—I don’t think there is any reason to solely replace the plate unless there was corrosion on it.

-
Using an adjustable wrench, remove the nut and the washer behind the face plate by twisting the nut counterclockwise.
-
-
-
Hold the body of the microphone, right below the grille, in one hand. Using your other hand, rotate the grille clockwise.
-
-
-
Hold the black plastic piece under the grille in one hand. In the other hand, hold the microphone collar.
-
Slowly, pull upward while twisting the black plastic piece clockwise.
-
Never open the microphone capsule. Attempting to repair the capsule will result in permanent damage.
Can you replace the yellow tape/cable if broken? (seen in last pic)
Honestly, I’m not sure. If I was in your position, I would assume a similarly sized piece of electrical tape should be fine, but if you’re not sure you may want to contact a repairman.

Once installed, reassemble the microphone following the steps in reverse.

Thanks for that,
Can i just replace the capsule as seen in the last picture?
Has it to be resoldered? Where do those very fine copper wires go?
It's been a few years since I made the guide and no longer have any microphones nearby to examen, but if I remember correctly, there is no soldering between the capsule and the housing. I believe the housing is soldered to the rest of the body with the silver leads at the bottom left of the picture.
You can unscrew just the grill.
