I sent a 4006 and 4012 with bad capsules up to DPA and they sent them back as unrepairable.
What have you done to these poor mics to make them "unrepairable"?I sent a 4006 and 4012 with bad capsules up to DPA and they sent them back as unrepairable.
That would surmise the problem is in the capsule, and then, I don't undersand why it would not be possible to replace with a new one...?has anyone tried different capsules with these bodies?
Indeed. I believe the best option is to restore them. However it may exceed the prive of a new one...is it possible to something? it seems a shame to let them languish
DPA themselves initially quoted an exorbitant price to replace a capsule (more than €1k for a diaphragm) and then sent them back with tape around the capsules with unrepairable tagged. no reason given. I know both mics had torn or wrinkled skins. I guess they just want people to buy the new stuff.What have you done to these poor mics to make them "unrepairable"?
Is it the dpa factory or some dealer/service point?
I concur with the other answers.

You must ask why; such an answer should be accompanied with a decent diagnosis. It's unworthy of dpa.

It is very rare that they do not offer you at least to change the capsule, I have a few to whom I have changed the capsule in DPA, even couples, in which only one had to be changed and they changed both at the cost of one. But it was before the purchase by RCFI sent a 4006 and 4012 with bad capsules up to DPA and they sent them back as unrepairable.
