BAB414 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have several AKG blue line mic capsules and power modules and I'm running into an issue with my ck93 hypercardioid capsule. It loosened up, and when I screw it back together (see the 3 pieces in the pictures below) the signal becomes either very weak and hissy, or highly distorted noise. Wiring/soldering are not my forte, but I am led to believe that the three pieces are misaligned with one another. Does anyone know if this could be the case, and if so, what is the proper way to align/fix everything? Or could it be something else? I had the same problem with another 93 capsule and I somehow miraculously managed to get it to work again. I'm not having the same luck with this one (I'll also note that the middle piece in the one I fixed was red, while this one is yellow - I don't know if this signifies anything). The three pieces pictured below are (and please excuse the focus): the chassis/outer tip of the mic with the one peg inside, the yellow inner piece (which contains smaller pieces and what looks like a small circuit board on the front, it sits in the bayonet mount), and the ring which the yellow piece fits into, which is threaded to screw into the chassis, and has three holes, at least one of which is for the tiny grub/set screw. Thank you in advance for your expertise! -Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Thomas Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The service manual is on the AKG site, here: http://www.akg.com/mediendatenbank2/psfile/datei/40/ck91_92_9344ed83b3285b0.pdf I had to do something similar to a CK98 capsule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 " Wiring/soldering are not my forte, " as we often see: "no user serviceable ..." perhaps a trip to a qualified technician (or the USA service center nearest you) is in order.
