Would be interesting to see what's going on in this mic...

Center-terminated LDC with selectable card/omni pattern, where "The omnidirectional response is obtained mechanically..."

I know this is how the C37A and it's current imitators works, but the video on the website shows no hole in the back to access an adjustment vane (the pattern switch is on the front of the mic). And I'm pretty sure that outfit is not making their own capsules, so how could they be 'obtaining the omni response mechanically' from a cardioid LDC?

(Same outfit selling a Primo EM273 (or 272?)-based mic with the capsule mounted in a 40mm APE (via a vinyl grommet, it appears) for a cool 700 Euros. Looney when you can get a Line Audio Omni1 for a fraction of the price, with the capsule custom modified/optimized, and make your own APE [40mm not even the best size for that capsule; 50mm would be much better]). http://www.braingasmlab.com/shop/ocula

This is why I don't buy boutique field recording mics. They always just ude the Primo capsules but I'm not sure how much they're modified if at all. Not that I necessarily require modification, but the prices on a lot of these Primo capsule mics (or equivalent) are what I'd expect to pay to companies that actually design their own capsules and bodies.
