  • AKG C451EB

    From geoff@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 21 14:28:22 2022
    Have worked on a C451B before, but subtly different to the EB in how to
    get inside.

    Scratchy ground problem fixed with cleaning/treating
    capule/grille/screen , but roll-off switch is still very crackly.

    OK ... to open remove the spring-clip-ring at the XLR end, but then what ?

    Doesn't seem to want to come out toward the capsule end, and the capsule
    mount with the 3 screws appears too big for it to go down inside the body.

    Any tips appreciated.

    ** Huh ????? The capsule simply *screws* off.

    The threes tiny screws hold the cover/ ES shield on.
    Put it back, the screws turn clockwise to lock it on.

    What I assumed - similarly to the other versions. Thought it may have
    been different.

    But this one doesn't budge - maybe somebody has Loctited this one on.
    Probably why the ground connection is dodgy.
