AKG D1000E with Pleiades 130Ω,40mH filter and a low noise setup

Signal path, setup:


Male voice at 1-3 in - AKG D1000E with no low cut - Pleiades 130Ω,40mH gentle slope high pass filter - German about 470mH:60H input transformer? - Pleiades K117 booster - Sony TC-D5 Pro - Sennheiser HD580


Pleiades K117 details can also be seen in the previous post.


The Pleiades R,L filter was inspired a lot  by the filter inside the AKG D1000E. The particular values (130Ω,40mH) give a very nice alternative register to the internal 2nd position of the high pass.


The above setup in very low noise. Clear, no bass heaviness. Bright. Very loud. The -20dB pad has to be energized on SONY TC-D5 Pro.
