Tim, no-one is here to “criticizes” your CT-12 capsule as a “bad” product and it is very logical to every-one out there that at all these years and years you will had and you will have to improve your CT-12 capsule as much as you can, otherwise you wouldn’t have the ability to stay in this “dog eat dog” business, neither to became the very famous and successful producer of your CT-12 capsule, one of the very famous and successful producer of the CK-12 capsule in the whole world.
I appreciate very much that If people have had mechanical problems you have repaired or replaced them at no cost or for the cost of shipping if they caused the damage themselves.
And that there are many members here who can attest to this.
I also appreciate very much that when people have requested that you make a capsule brighter or darker you have gladly done so at your own cost, but here is the “catch” that there are not product lines like:
Here is

Here is
Tim Campbell CT-12 ‘60’s Deep Dish with this FR, these are the characteristics, this is the datasheet… Add To Carte
Any (more) info(s) about your CT-12 capsule except its photo it is in the “veil” of “mystery and focus pocus magic” and this is a little bit “problematic” for ortho-logistic people like me who likes to see the datas, to search the datas, to purchase something by the datas…
I had purchased my Moog Minimoog Voyager Select Series Analog Synth, my Radikal Techologies Accelerator Digital Synth, (yes that one that you see in my profile photo), my Kawai MP11 SE Stage Piano, my whole studio gear that cost me much-much more that the 450 Euros which is the cost of your CT-12 capsule, so money are not an object for me and I’m not venting my frustration "because I cannot purchase your capsule"…
But if All this public handwringing isn't changing anything to you for supporting more & more this DIY Community by make available for everyone to be able to purchase your CT-12 capsule, then there isn’t a reason for you to answer back to us or for us to answer back to you about a product that is Un-available or it will be available in very limited quantities…
As you can see by the very first post, almost 2 years ago, neither MBHO - Haun, Telefunken, Heiserman etc. sell their capsules and this condition hasn’t change all over these 2 years, so the most logical thing is that this DIY Community will be start making more Neumann-ique microphones, as M-7 and K-49 capsules are more available by European and American manufactures, in more reasonable prices and no limited quantities…
