Does anyone have a measurement of the K47 from WGT Center?

I found one of their K47s I bought in a drawer and I'm not sure if I want to use it or sell it. I'm interested in seeing a measurement just to see if it'll have the same weird boost Mic-Parts RK-47 has.

i think they're the same capsule hardware I'd have to see one up close to know. both AYM catalogue capsule hardware. that doesn't mean it does though. k47s are very sensitive to diaphragm tuning

I could be totally off the mark, but i think @kingkorg can confirm (or has confirmed) that they are indeed the same.

Yup, they are the same. At least the ones i compared.

Damn, I mean I figured they'd at least be similar. The more I listen to mic's modded using the RK-47 the more I dislike the capsule. I dunno I think it sounds really pre-processed if that makes sense. It makes me think of something like a podcast or radio show, but not in a good way (I guess "boxy" would describe how I hear it). I don't get the same vibe from M7 based mics (or other "dark" mics like the flatter C414s or the Oktava mics I've used), I think it's because they're have a much broader lift instead of a jarring 5dB or so boost in one specific spot. I actually think it sounds worse than a lot of the capsules it replaces. I'll probably just stick it on eBay and wait for Soliloqueen's normal K47.
