VX1000 Microphone Mod
THIS IS A SUPPLY YOUR OWN SERVICE - YOU MUST MAIL ME YOUR EXISTING VX1000 MICROPHONE.
See the bottom of this post for shipping instructions.
VX1000 to TRS is the only mod I currently offer for the VX1000 Microphone.
XLR options are being worked on. Coming soonish!
You must choose your desired connector type, and whether you want Stereo or Mono output. I HIGHLY recommend a stereo option.
If you'd like to attempt the mod yourself or just see what is involved, I've posted a video guide on how to do the mod. It's an approachable mod for beginners, but given the rarity of the microphones, just make sure you are careful not to damage the components! The video can be found here: Original Mod Video
So what is this?
If you love the sound of the VX1000, but have to move on from the camera itself (or just have a broken VX for parts) you'll probably find yourself wishing you could take that microphone with you. Well, you can!
This modification service will take your existing VX1000 microphone and convert it to a more usable output.
All mods will have a 3ft long cord by default. If you need more or less, please let me know in the notes section with your order.
Note this mod service does not currently add any balancing circuits or extra electronics components. If you want to take your TRS modded VX1000 Mic after this mod, and connect it to an XLR camera, you will you will need to purchase a balanced active adapter like this one from Rode.
If this is your intent, understand that this will likely only work correctly with a mic modded for MONO TRS output.
I am working on other options for direct balanced XLR that will maintain Stereo compatibility. I do not currently have a solution that works for Stereo over XLR.
YOUR MICROPHONE WILL BE INSPECTED PRIOR TO THE MODIFICATION. If it isn't found to be functional, you will be refunded your purchase price, minus the cost of return shipment of your non-functional microphone. You are responsible for picking the right output. If you need guidance for your use case, please reach out to me prior to purchase.
Shipping Process:
Please send your microphones to the following address with your order number on a sheet of paper included in the box.
