Hey guys,
Having never messed with mic capsules, I've been wondering this lately:
The way i understand it, you got your backplate, with a thin (~30 to 50 microns) ring on top, then the diaphragm with the metallized side facing out, and a metal ring on top that holds everything together and provides electrical contact with the diaphragm, with screws that go through it and screw into the backlate, correct? Now, what do they do to prevent the screws from shorting the diaphragm and the backplate they screw into?
Is it clear? I'm I getting this all wrong?
Thanks!
Peace,
Al.
