From: N_Cook on 7 Jun 2010 07:21 Nasty cosmetic mark on the casing. Looks as though it had some sort of tape stuck to it and whatever normal cleaning chemical, does not shift the patches of discoloration of the anodised? silver-grey matt finish. I don't think the underlying metal is aluminium or brass, maybe stainless steel, certainly stained now. I tried light brushing with a bronze wire brush in a Dremmel on a small part and seems to have reduced the effect but still there, any ideas of cause , materials and any cure? While at it is B,M,S on the filter switch , German for Bass,Middle Treble, - Bass , Mitte,Sopran ?

Many including me have 'non removable' self adhesive labels on their mics to help prevent theft. As well as engraving. > I don't think the underlying metal is aluminium or brass, maybe > stainless steel, certainly stained now. I'm sure there are options, but many of the older pro ones are brass. Satin chrome or whatever plated. > I tried light brushing with a bronze wire > brush in a Dremmel on a small part and seems to have reduced the effect > but still there, any ideas of cause , materials and any cure?

More common is a high pass filter - perhaps with two frequencies - and a switchable attenuator. But AKG make mics for all purposes. -- *The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist Dave Plowman dave(a)davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.

And course I keep a note of the serial numbers. -- *Husbands should come with instructions Dave Plowman dave(a)davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
