The microphone capsule photo and information thread

Well the tension of the ring is holding the rest, and in some capsules, the diaphragm is also glued to the ring.

Yes, so it should be safe. But I wasn't sure at first and that's why I asked. Better safe than sorry...

I had been looking at Ali Express a couple days before these posts on the gold drop knock-off, and ran across a U47-esque body with solid state electronics and fake gold drop. Strange!

I will add that in my opinion the JZ mics are useful and can give some good sounding results.

Icon Pro Audio Martian capsule - Made in Latvia - Seems pretty obviously manufactured by JZ and a spiritual successor to the Blue Mouse. Interestingly uses a grid pattern sputtering, which I assume is motivated by the same thinking behind the gold drop.

Does anyone have a picture of the Audio Technica capsule without the resonator on it? I was researching something and read an article that described the diaphragm as having some sort of pattern embossed into it. The description was making me think of gold drops and the like.
