Hi,

I've built a cardiod only u87i with a single plate/diaphragm k87 capsule i had around. Aparently everything is alright with the circuit, but so far i get sound from the body and grill of the mic but not from the capsule. its like the mic itself is a contact mic but the capsule does nothing. I mean, when i'm holding the mic i hear the typical noise from someone's hand messing with it but no sound come from the capsule only from the attrition of hand to the body.

Is my capsule broken or did I messed things up?
