Anyone tried these microphone capsules?

[EEMO1]

thanks bezen... sent them a mail. let's see what happens. I need capsules for my own stuff so...


I could be potentially willing to buy these capsules and "stock" them for not just a one off gb. the problem organizing a gb/white market is that im reeeeallly busy (dayjob, music, other businesses) that I really have to think about this.

I would be in for a K47 capsule.

But we should definitely get the dual capsule since the difference in price in very small and dual capsule is much more valuable as an instrument. And you can always use only one side if you like.

Capsule mount and screws too would be more than welcome to go with capsules!

Watching this thread for a potentially developing GB

Same here. Just registering interest, I would be in for at least two.

That capusles are from  Chinese .  They just change the name of it.

 

[tchgtr]

Yes, dual-sided capsules, with mounts...
Two for me, should this come about.

I'd take 2 to 4

For the U47 or K47 , the Chinese factory have emulation.
LX34-1 (Single Diaphragm )  and  LX34-2 (Dual Diaphragms) you can check in Google

I tried RK12!
RK12 is in my Elam Diy mic,and i compare with CEK12 Peluso!

And all i can tell that this RK12 it is very good capsule,even try it in my G7 where was CEK12 Peluso!I know that sonic perception is different
from person to person!
But this RK12 for me is better sound than CEK12 Peluso!But its a little sensitive on SPL than CEK12 Peluso

This is just my subjective opinion....
Some people wouldnt say that....

Those do not look like a K47 clones, the backplates look more like a K67.

Any other sources for chinese K47s that anyone is aware of?

WGT are definitely looking like the front runners for me, based on communication and the k12 feedback thus far...

slightly OT:

I've been researching a lot of manufacturers, and in addition to capsules, have been looking at mics for a mod platform. I'll start a FEELER thread on the free market but wanted to put that out in this thread as there are a handful of places that could potentially handle both. Looking at something like a U87 FET types (a'la MXL 2001) and/or a tube mic (similar to hte HST 11a aka APex 460) price point around what you find these for on the used market?

Blue Jinn, I bought a matched pair of the RK-12's and started with one MXL 2010, thinking if I didn't like it, I would use it as a donor body for the boards I got from you.  I was so impressed with it, I bought another 2010 for a pair.  With just a capsule swap, these sound very nice to me.  The 2010's can be bought for $139.00 including a shockmount and slip over windscreen, plus $99.00 for the RK-12 and mount, a nice clean multi-pattern mic with pad and rolloff.

Judging by the backplate drilling, that's a K67 capsule.

 

[bezen4uk]

Yep, K67.
And I hope seller will add K47 type capsules.

im going to shanghai in the easter for 10 days... what if...

As always, When traveling abroad:

Bring an extra bag (or two), extra cash, extra bubble-wrap, and fewer clothes...
Loperamide and anti-biotics for everyone if you can swing it.
