Hi to everyone.
Do you know where i can find a Ningbo Tongxin K47 capsule one sided, for cardioid use?

Could these options be similar?

Thanks.
 
Wouldn't it be easier to get a double sided one, and only use one side?
(You could even turn the capsule around later, if one side gets damaged or polluted.)
 
Yeap i already did that and have already ordered this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microphone-34mm-Large-Mylar-Capsule-Diaphragm-Condenser-M7-K47-K49-K87-Dual-Side-/252754487133
which is double sided (the link i gave was just an example of these chinese capsules, not that i had to buy this exactly by any means).

But my question remains: Could these capsules be similar to Ningbo Tongxin  ?

I think it is the same capsule as the one from WGTCenter...

I have 4 of these capsules in km84 circuit, and i am satisfied with results... I also compared it in same circuit against Maiku k47 capsule. Maiku is better IMO (more detailed, not so harch, more silky...). But the differences in essential is not huge to my ears.

In any case you're comparing 3 microns to 6 microns.
 
AFAIK all the "generic", Chinese, 34mm, plastic ring K47-style capsules have 3 micron membranes.
The 32mm, brass ring capsules have 6 micron membranes.
Everything is possible in China, but both Ningbo and WGT are the usual OEM suspects.

Yes, they're the same. Made by ISK/Ningbo Shengke Electronics Co.

WGT is too.

Very fair pricing for these capsules. Can't beat them for $40-$50.

Sure, but how do you know it? Do you have another info about WGTCenter Capsule? Are you sure the WGT capsule membrane is 3microns?

As Henk wrote, anyway i have info from WGT, so it's 3microns.

I meant in the sense they would be as easy to purchase "retail" as those K47's :)

Give me some time and you will be able to order it from Poland ;)
 
Here is reply from WGT Center. I asked them to thickness of k47 capsule membrane:

"Dear Milan,
The thickness of capsule is 4 micron mylar membranes. The sound color would be not so good if using 6 or 2 micron.

Weird i had reply with "3micron" but this was 2-4 years ago, so maybe something changed...
 
haha all can happen in China  :p

EU groupbuy?  :p

why not ...

I am  interested in  a chinese ck12 too. Or another K47, but this time a 6 micron one  (philips screw type).

@Banzai: What  about this "Feeler chinese k47/ck12 groupbuy" thread? Can we order the ck12 from there?
and these will be like the pic posted in the thread?

How can i find these?: https://groupdiy.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=61048.0;attach=38221
