Hi all,I've got a non-functional capsule from an old MKH 406 microphone:[ATTACH=full]114265[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]114266[/ATTACH](I swapped this for another capsule and the mic works fine).There's a DC resistance of about 16K across the capsule. (My DMM's capacitance range reads ~25nF, but I wouldn't trust that a bit given the resistance).The diaphragm itself isn't obviously damaged.Has anyone seen this sort of problem and fixed it? I've tried gentle cleaning with water and IPA with no change. Is a go in an ultrasonic cleaner a bad idea?CheersIan
