in some future i want to do some mic with Neumann style capsule. With akg style i am already have. So this solution from this shop maybe i can use in future.

I'd definitely recommend these over other Chinese made capsules, including "premium" ones.in some future i want to do some mic with Neumann style capsule. With akg style i am already have. So this solution from this shop maybe i can use in future.
These capsules are still made in china, but I outsourced production of my own design there rather than just picking an existing one, so they're pretty good.I happy when i can not buy Chinese. But i have not enough money for it in mostly case. Also i did some mic first time in my life and i don't sure about my possibilities in this case. No big sence to buy something expensive but later have no success with it. In other case i prefer not buy from china when i have possibilities on it. Chinese manufacturers sometime sales also something not bad but not always like this also. So if you bought something bad in China wich is very possible also in this case you don't save any money on this and more like just waste your money. In case with this capsules difference in price for me is acceptable for try get not Chinese product. I anyway need only one this capsule and this will be last what i can do about this mics. Everything other have no sense for me.
They're Chinese but they're high quality. I haven't bought any personally yet (IRL commitments and issues are limiting my ability to do DIY stuff), but the users so far all seem very impressed, the tolerance is high, and they measure identically to the real thing, probably as close or closer than Neumann's own capsules in matched pair.I happy when i can not buy Chinese.

Once I get all my accessibility tools done, there will probably be a second tier available that I make here.Very interesting to read... I also don't like to buy Chinese anything, but they have the tooling or, in this case, will make the tooling apparently. However, the 'Flat47' IS a very nice capsule...Kudos for at least overseeing the designing, manufacturing and QC....A darn shame we can't make these here in the USA!!
It feels wasteful to use a double sided capsule for this purpose.
Perhaps it would also be a little cheaper to produce?
Right, no doubt. Please reread may post. There is no K.If the capsule is not double sided, then it is not a K47 capsule and will have different behavior.
Thank you!See for example this Shure paper (originally presented at an AES conference, but available from the Shure web site now):
Are you deciding what the right question is now?Perhaps the right question is whether there is enough interest to manufacture a (hopefully less expensive) single diaphragm capsule in the future, but if sticking with the old classics I'm not sure which model to use.
Are you an active capsule producer or just a customer? Please don't get me wrong, I just wanted to take the opportunity to ask an active capsule producer the question I asked .And I wouldn't count on a single diaphragm capsule being that much less expensive, there are a lot of fixed costs that go into producing and shipping something that don't really vary with parts count.

I have to point to important difference. While k47 with only one side center screw terminated will perform slightly differently than regular k47, it is by construction still technically dual diaphragm capsule. Both sides are covered with a diaphragm.If the capsule is not double sided, then it is not a K47 capsule and will have different behavior.

Well, I just wanted to ask a manufacturer's perspective on whether that makes sense. No guessing even if you're probably right. That's why my @soliloqueen at the beginning of my post. No offense.I do not produce microphone capsules, but I have been involved in design of commercially sold equipment for nearly 30 years. There are many things in common between selling any type of product, but point taken, of course Soliloqueen would be the only one in a position to make any specific estimates in this context.
I am interested in a pair of the K87's... please PM me with details... ( long time member, but not enough posts to send PM ). Thank you !i think rock just means the gold, which is possible. i'll see what savings it offers.
Sorry for the delays, guys. I've got a bunch of procedural stuff just kind of...falling apart on my end. I was delaying the K87 shipping by a few days originally to see if I could get the screws in just for my peace of mind, but I ended up anaphylactically allergic to the insulation I ordered and had to deal with that. Now my packaging foam contractor is a few weeks late... I have capsules just sitting here, waiting to be shipped.
We're getting double the amount of flat k47s done this time, so I shouldn't run out of stock again. This next batch will also be glued diaphragms + different colors for the front and rear wires, since a few people (5/300, but it's weird that it even happened) were running into slipping issues.
