ordering - please read carefully
Important: due to high demand and my involvement in various aspects of the Capital of Culture 2017 there is currently a 4-8 week lead time on new orders. You are welcome to still place an order so that it is in the cue but please do be aware of the lead time
THE PRICE:
as you will i'm sure understand everything is going up in price each year. I haven't raised the prices of mics for several years and I don't really want to for as long as possible. With this in mind, and to offer an alternative to paypal that should mean less fees to pass on, you can now also pay by transferwise. To do this simply email me with your order here and I will send you a payment request that you can then pay by credit / debit card or bank transfer.
dispatch times vary - I build these mics by hand and at certain times, due to demand or my own activities, there can be a few weeks between ordering and shipping.
(i'll be working on various project for the rest of 2016 and extensively during 2017 so do allow plenty of time when ordering as, for example, current lead times can be 4 weeks at times of high demand)
When you place your order you'll be sent an email with an estimate of when it'll be shipped. If you need your mics for a specific project / date then please email me first and i'll let you know if its possible. Please try to order well in advance.
IMPORTANT
1) please insure you select the correct postage option from the drop down menu on each item
2) if paying by paypal please monitor the email address associated with it in case there is a need to contact you about your order.
3) when ordering standard series units please remember to let me know which type of jack (3.5mm or 1/4 inch) you would like on them.
4) I can't be held responsible for delays in sending orders where the incorrect payment has been made or emails about the unclear aspects of the order have not been replied to.
5) please supply the correct postal address when placing orders ! every now and then I get an order paid for by paypal where an old address has been left on that account. Please understand that I cannot be held responsible if an order is shipped to a provided address that you no longer have access to.
6) postage charges here in the UK are calculated by weight and size of parcel - so the postage charges per item are correct and reflect the actual cost of postage, insurance, packaging etc.
for further information on each product please use the links above and also please read the 'tips and guidance' page for information on how to look after your mics so they give years of service.
Please also read the Frequently Asked Questions page here

general info on shipping and the ethos at JrF
I know sometimes we all want products to arrive almost the same day as we order them but JrF mics are hand made and demand is usually high due to their strong reputation. Current estimate for new orders is as stated above.
I always send an email following your order being placed, letting you know i've received it and to clarify any details if needed - so please check junk mail filters or the email account you use for any paypal payment.
JrF is not a big faceless business in some factory on an industrial estate and I have no wish for it to become so. I work hard to get orders dispatched quickly but life is about more than making money and so there might be times, if i'm away giving workshops or working on various projects, when the fact that JrF isn't ikea-ish will mean waiting a bit longer for your mics. If this is a problem then perhaps send me an email before ordering and I can advise on possible dispatch times.
unless i'm 'off grid' internet wise you will get an email letting you know but I would ask for your understanding with any delays.
JrF products are made by someone who actually uses these things and has a very active involvement with creative field recording / sound / music and I strongly believe thats one of the reasons they are as good as they are, so I do need to keep my hand in so to speak !
thanks....

coil pick-ups
.
please click on the link at the top of this webpage for more info. I only adapt these coils, to remove the frequency limiting circuits mostly applied to ones bound for Europe. Depending on your location you might be able to find un-limited ones elsewhere.
1/4 inch to xlr impedance matching adaptors
1/4 inch (female) to XLR (male)
impedance transforming adaptor
ideal for connecting JrF c-series and standard contact mics and hydrophones to XLR input recorders such as those made by Sound Devices, Fostex, Nagra, Tascam, Edirol, etc etc.
I've used lots of different adaptors over the years and these are the ones that work best. Well built and they work better than transforming adaptors costing a great deal more.
