I just wanted to report that i have been using this edge terminated capsule from 797 audio for about two years with about 110v (possibly 120v) polarizing voltage with no issues!!!
I did this unintentionally while modding a Behringer B2 to true cardioid and picked up polarizing voltage at wrong point - 110v point! Yesterday i was checking polarizing voltages on couple of my mics, so i checked this one and was floored when i found out.
The frequency response is exactly the same as at 60V, i just tested it brutally with aggressive plosives, and membrane just wont stick!
Ive never used this mic on high SPL so i wouldn't know if it clips the FET.
Another great thing about this capsule is that it doesnt react to humidity coming from breath. I am pretty sure you could drip water onto it, and it would still work.
