Rode classic upgraded
The Rode Classic has a intern shematic build style reminiscent of the classics of the golden era of sound. and it's circuit topology is very close to the Telefunken ELA M251,, one of the greatest mics of all time. The Classic also sports a NOS tube and Jensen transforer. Unfortunately before with the original classic all of this this let down by the capsule which is nowhere near the" Classic CK12" that the circuit was designed for.
It's important to point out that the capsule and it's housing or "head basket" are the ultimate dictator in the sound of any microphone, imparting the all important sonic fingerprint or DNA if you will, other components and circuit topology also matter, but but not nearly as much.
With that said going straight to the source and replacing the capsule with the capsule that was designed for goes a long way. We used A real ck12 replica which is an accurate true multi-chaimbered replica of AKG's original brass Ck12, the capsule that made AKG famous the world over and the capsules used in venerable AKG C12 and Telefunken ELA 251,
the signal path is restored and tube been upgraded to A nos Ef732 for a sonic high quality sound.
The mod propels the Classic into a completely different league with a smooth yet open sound, airy highs, huge low end and glorious
proximity effect.
Always used in smoke free studio with pop screen and stored in box , has minor wear and sound and looks fantastic
