    I am a still photographer working on collecting visual and aural ethnographic materials. As a researcher my work is inspired by the work of Alan Lomax (ethnomusicologist) and John Collier Jr. (visual anthropologist). My aural research interests include folklore, oral history and photo-elicitation.

    I am working to tune my ears to the rich world of sound. I am learning to record dialogue and natural sounds. In recording dialogue, I strive for high quality recordings, but the captured “spoken content” is often more important to me than the nuances of microphones. That said, I often record in the field and face some of the audio challenges that location sound people do.

    What interests me the most about participating on this site is to increase my audio knowledge and to understand the way the members solve complex issues that they face in their work.

    Sincerely,

    Mark Kirchner

    Hi Luis, I really liked that windscreen, the foam started to rot so I tossed it out. Do some experimenting on your own. I am sure you can modify an existing windscreen for the MKH50. Good luck.

    It would be great if you could post a photo or a diagram of what the capsule looks like. It’s been over 5 years since I did my repair, so my original post was delayed.

    Have you repaired a MKE2 capsule yourself?

    Sennheiser MKE2 Repair This MKE2 lavalier microphone had a broken solder joint at the capsule. If the capsule was twisted the signal would go from normal audio to pops and clicks with no audio. I decided to cut away the plastic housing. As expected, one of the solder joints had broken. I soldered the connection and the microphone worked as normal. Next I took some strong black nylon thread and wrapped the end of the black cable. I used a “snelling knot” that fishermen use to snell a hook. I wanted the nylon to bite into the cable to help the epoxy hold tightly to the cable. Then I painted on clear 5 minute epoxy, covering the nylon and the solder joint. A second coat of epoxy was done, this time the capsule was rotated to help the epoxy creat a nice round shape. This made a similar durable replacement for the original plastic housing that cut away. The epoxy could have been tinted black with model paints. Good luck, Mark Kirchner

    I found this wireless guide by Lectrosonics very informative. https://www.lectrosonics.com/images/PDFs/wg2000.pdf

    Guys, I am glad everyone had some fun with my DIY. The image has been on my phone for almost a year and I am happy that I can delete it now.

    I am looking for recommendations for the next step in my power distribution bow. Thinking of putting it into a pelican case.

    Hi Trey, I do not have the single battery model. LTs and SMDWDs only.
