Yes capsule voltage counts it is one of the last parts adjusted when I work on a build. Think about it, capsule voltage affects tension due to electrostatic attraction and more voltage can mean more signal to the amp section and.........

I don't have the 1/1000 of experience you have in modding microphones, but I'm just wondering why this is the last part you adjust.
Is the capsule not the more important part in the microphone ? I mean this is the part which transforms the air vibrations into voltages variations ? (And the body and the grill have a lot of influence too because they create "acoustic disturbances")
The voltage polarization of a capsule influences its output but also the way it sounds, doesn't it ?
I've read
here that a capsule tends to 'harden up' with too much polarization voltage applied, and gets increasingly ugly in the mid-range. I imagine, maybe erroneously, that it would have consequences in the basse frequencies too --> less bass ? :roll:
Why not start by giving the ideal/optimal polarization voltage the capsule has been designed for, or has been proved to work the best with ?
Maybe It's more true when you change to stock capsule for another one (other brand, othe type). [/url]
I would be curious to have your opinion...
Thank you,
