The MKH60P48 that I purchased in 2003 came with a printed users's
guide that describes the 'Acoustic principle' as a 'pressure gradient
interference receiver'. There are no further details on the capsule
design itself. The 'Equivalent sound pressure level as per DIN 45500,
curve A' is specified as '10 dB (17 dB)'. The value in brackets
represents the noise with the 10 dB attenuation activated.  So, it
seems that they have either really improved the design or just
modified the specification sheet...

Raimund
