Eric,
Ive measured the capsule from 0.1v to 48v (way over voltage) and also with =
excessive current but thats only during experiments with the FET and when I=
had hundreds of them. (btw Im pipmics.com - or was...)
Providing you keep the capsule current at around 300 to 400uA you should be=
fine.
PIP operation is easier with the LS10.
Most of this lot is using the EM17x capsules, except the Monte Gordo record=
ing and synth-i-fications.
