    Hi, Can anyone recommend a mic repair shop in LA (San Fernando Valley)?

    The Mics are sony electret condenser camera mics.

    I don’t know if its worth it, but its worth a try.

    Thanks, John

    Hello John and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

    Do you have a model number for the mic? Is it stereo or mono?

    Regards,

    Ty Ford

    John,

    B&H sells a replacement for $229.

    OTOH, I had a class here a few years ago and someone brought a PD150. I’m not sure it’s the same mic, but it might be. Relative to a Sennheiser MKH 416, the Sony mic sounded broken.

    No big surprise given the cost differential, but it was fun letting them hear the difference.

    Regards,

    Ty

    Hi Ty,

    Thanks for responding, Yes, one is from a PD-150 and the other is from a DSR-500.

    I have looked at the MKH-416 for years, If it were in the budget, I would own 4 of the mics.

    Again Thanks, John
