I love that capsule - I've got it in an AKG P220; prefer it over the stock capsule with the @kingkorg capacitor mod; this has an unhyped sound without the capacitor mod.

Great rear rejection and smooth off-axis response.

Audio Technica 2035. Still not sure if same 1" electret capsule as used in AT3035; electronics and transformer very different.

Interesting per-unit tuning, by plugging hole(s) in back with self-stick rubber tabs (my other examples have only one plugged).

Very flat response.
