Pleiades K117 inside 3 pin female DIN connector and Beyer M55 HN connected to iPad


Perhaps the most unbelievable sound so far.


The K177 JFET and 220Ω source resistor were connected inside a 3 pin female DIN connector.


The Pleiades pre preamplifier is as follows. On the left end of the cable the Pleiades K117 amplifier inside the 3 pin DIN female connector. On the right side of the red video cable a 1/8in male stereo jack.


So an M55 HN can be connected and low noise preamplified directly taking advantage of its high Z capability. This is done by an input transformer inside the mic.


The sound is so natural from vocals chords of singer to listener's brain. No EQ needed.


Low noise too.
