Here is great chance to hear how different circuits and capsules interact with each other in the same body.
Behringer b2 is my favorite mic for modding because of detachable head. So i get to swap capsules and circuits.
I didnt try every combo, but few i really like.
The capsules are:
Tim Campbell CT12 in Elam251 circuit with Russian sub miniature tube and U87 circuit.
Dale M7 capsule in C12 flat circuit with Russian sub miniature tube.
RK12 from Rayking, the same as Microphone Parts with u87 and Elam circuits.
C12 from 797 audio but with modded backplate spacer which gave me flatter high end with flat Schoeps circuit
Additionally there is audio of:
A clone of Telefunken AR51 i made in Sterling Audio body with C12 797 Audio capsule.
Vintage Neumann u87
Another vintage u87 with punctured back membrane, which i actually proffer
And a clone i made of Townsend Labs Sphere mic with several emulations. Of course these are not spot on because of different capsule i used, but i like it!
The audio is a drum loop recorded aboud 40cm from speaker, identical settings and position. Normalized to same level.

And just for fun and reference here are stock B2 and Studio Projects C1 as perfect ''China Mic Sound'' examples.
