Hi, I just got hold of a bunch of audio-technika AEW-T3300 (using a capsule based on the AT4033) and AEW-T4100 (I think dynamic)
I thought I'd try and repurpose the capsules, either by just making an XLR input, or perhaps moving the capsules to a new body.
Any sort of advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for some good sounding preferably solid state preamp designs, and perhaps some good ideas regarding what mic bodys I could transplant the capsules into.
I've tried searching the net, but I have not managed to find any threads on a similar type of project, so anything to get me started would be great! I'm afraid I don't know anyone that would be likely to have the schematic

Dynamic mics often have a transformer in there, which helps the capsule drive long cables. Wiring straight to the XLR does happen sometimes, and will work fine for a test.
For the condenser capsule, you're going to need a power supply among other things. Time to look at circuit diagrams.
You could try emailing Audio Technica's support, too.
