Hi there
I allready posted this in the official G7 help thread. The feedback is unfortunately a little weak. I would really get some feedback on my question about the sound of the CK12 capsule, as it has an immense low end / proximity effect.
I recently finished two Gryaf G7 mics with interchangeable headbaskets/capsules. For bodyparts/headbasket i used 4x this mic: https://www.musicstore.com/de_CH/CHF/Fame-Audio-Studio-CM1/art-REC0004714-000
Had to cut the pcb to fit the diameter of the body (stainless steel tube bought on ebay). A XLR conector is mounted to the interchangeable headbaskets, i even didn't need to drill new holes, as the holes in the metallplate of the headbasket fitted the XLR connector almost perfect The capsules are hot-swappable (loud popps happening of course).
I made 4 capsules; 2x OPR CK12, 1x generic chinese K67 and 1x chinese K47 bought from Bessneez Microphones. I always wanted to have a stereopair CK12.
If you're interested in the sound of these mics, you can have a listen to my first test recording in comparison to a genuine Neumann U87AI. I hope you don't mind bad pitch, i'm not a singer at all, i'm a tech..but singing for me is a very good way to hear, how a mic sounds in general:

There are 5 comparisons with me singing in both mics simultaneously. 4x singing a swiss folkore (i have no idea why i chose this song..), 1x speech. With the CK12 capsule i did an omni and cardioid comparison, with the other capsules only in cadioid.
I'm surprised, how close the U87 and Gyraf with K67 sound. Of course the Gyraf has more highs, as it features no de-emphasis unlike the U87. And i'm really surprised about the proximity effect and overall bass on the CK12. It' almost too much, which makes me wonder, if the CK12 in a Gyraf would benefit from a higher value output capacitor for a lighter bass. Is it normal for a CK12 capsule to have that much more bass in comparison to the K67? And i don't really care for the sound of the K47, at least on my voice.
Let's hear some feedback!
