Bobobob Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hi, I’d had a 4061 repaired by somebody a few years ago as it had been damaged at the capsule end. The repair held up for a little bit but eventually died again. at that point I gave it a go myself and have done a pretty solid repair of the mic now. the only thing is that the guy who did the original repair had removed the material(looks almost like wax) that DPA pot the capsule in. I’m looking to use the repaired mic as a “beater” mic for salt water shoots(I’ve got to mic up a jetski in a few weeks’ time), but I worry that my exposed solder joints won’t take too kindly to the prolonged exposure to salt water, no matter how carefully I rinse it out in the evenings.. so I’m wondering if anybody knows what the compound is that DPA use to pot the capsule, as I’d love to do it myself thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 I don't know what they use, but I'd probably just seal the connections in with some of this: https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-GOOP-150011-Plumbing-Adhesive/dp/B0016L0NTU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&hasWorkingJavascript=1&keywords=goop+plumbing&qid=1620691148&sprefix=goop+pl&sr=8-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
