Hi,
I just received a BaiFei Li C414 34mm capsule. It sounds nice, and can handle high levels to mike tom toms. This is what I was wondering before pulling the trigger.
I dissasembled it and the circuit is different compared to the 25mm capsule (electret). No transformer here. This circuit is more like a classic Shoeps CMC style because the capsule is not electret :

Solder joints are not really good looking but working. As usual there's not a tone of mods you can do, maybe replace the capacitor on the backside with a polystyrene one.
It's all about the capsule with this type of diagram.
