Those specs are just copied out of the pdf's I got off the Shure site a
while back when the mic was first noticed. Since they did not turn up at
a price I considered decent on ebay I've not tried any of them. I really
would like to have available tiny capsules like that but with the specs
of a MKH-20. Probably too much to ask for. You find something like that
I'm definitely interested.
Meanwhile my Christmas eve fun is the wonders of rewinding a stator.
Took forever to get my hands on the dope for it.
Walt
