Hi Anders,
I think that John Hartog's approach is the way to go.
I'm afraid that measuring the tiny differences of the 470 ohm source resist=
or does not help here at all. I'm pretty sure the 1% tolerance of the resis=
tor has nothing to do with the actual sensitivity differences of the capsul=
es.
What instead matters are the specific tolerances of the internal FET transi=
stor (its gain), the electret foil and perhaps a few geometric tolerances w=
ithin the capsule. These much more relevant tolerances however cannot be me=
asured by a simple multimeter.
Regards,
Raimund
