Description
Replace the capsule in your LCD mic and use the original electronics. Certain low-cost Transformerless mics have harsh overly bright and sibilant capsules. These can benefit from a K47-style capsule swap. Some tube mics fall into this category as well. This mod is not appropriate for all mics. Please contact before ordering.
Typical mics that benefit are:
- MXL 4000
- Studio Projects B/C-1
- Rode NT2 (later Transformerless version)
- Sterling GT66 (tube)

I had a Rode NT-2 from the mid 90s that I hadn’t used since probably the late 90s, as it was WAY too bright. I contacted Bob, and although he hadn’t converted an NT-2 before, he was willing to check it out. I sent it to him and he found that it was a high quality design, but the capsule was too bright for the rest of the circuit. He put in one of his K47 style mics, and now it sounds fantastic. Nice and smooth and not too bright. His customer service was fantastic, as well.

I reached out to Rock Science and Bob about modding my MXL 4000 as I saw the project on the website. I couldn’t be more pleased or satisfied with both the work and the correspondence! The communication throughout the process was stellar! After hearing the modded mic, I was so impressed with the improved sound, that I bought another and had Bob mod that out to have a stereo pair! Bob went well above the call of duty to get me the mic for a long weekend so I could put it through its paces! Awesome!
I am going to have Bob modify another two mics for sure and who knows beyond that! The process and the end result were so much a fun, collaborative and exciting experience, I can’t wait to get started! I couldn’t recommend any service more highly! You’ve found your mic modification company!

Bob and Rock Science created a wonderful new microphone for me, that Bob had already built for himself, from the donor body of a MXL 910 LDC mic. Bob and I discussed our options, I came up with a few mics that I could envision myself using and we started with the one Bob had suggested!
Bob turned the mic around quickly and got it right back to me! Bob painted the mic the color I asked for and it looks amazing! That got me excited! I spent the rest of the night listening to the mic under different conditions and then spent (3) hours singing and performing vocal takes with it! I could use very subjective terms to describe what the mic sounded like or was doing to the audio, but I’ll let you determine those! The mic has such an organic sound and true analog warmth and breadth. I couldn’t have been happier!
Bob’s very apt descriptions of audio characteristics and sound fundamentals was true to form! The mic sounded and performed much as I had hoped and anticipated! This made the decision to order the next mic very easy!
I hope this testimonial aids in informing your decision to work with Rock Science LLC. You will not be disappointed!
