I have a question thats been nagging me for a while.
How does the capsule get polarized in the AKG C60? I own a pair, and have made a few clones of them in fact, so they clearly work fine but looking at the schematics a don't see the polarization voltage reaching the capsule. The 110v from the PSU goes straight to the anode.
Just curious and thought id try to get a deeper understanding of this.

The polarization voltage for the capsule is voltage between grid of AC701k and ground which is set with tube's cathode current and resistor 82k.
 
Thanks for your explanation!
