"rayking" is just a backronym from RK (Recordinghacks K) and doesn't exist. "Rayking" capsules are just from AYM, I think. This specific capsule is made of AYM parts but probably not AYM assembly. Lots of smaller factories buy parts from AYM or through AYM but assemble themselves. Like I said, I'm pretty sure (but not positive, as I don't handle domestic chinese business) that this is one of our domestic china models. It can be told apart from the AYM-assembled part by the wire colors, materials, leads, and diaphragm thickness mostly. It could also just be a fully AYM-assembled part with different specs.
