TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

Electret Capsules and Circuit schematic: I can fit most any capsule you want to any of my microphones for a nominal extra fee.

Here's a link to pick one out, cardoid patterns also available. Digi-Key Electret Capsules

I have two different styles of omnidirectional microphone capsules readily available .

 CMA-4544PF-W

WM61-A

 

 

Displayed is the schematic of the Schoeps electret transformer circuit used for the Soundcatcher.

  With matched 2N5087 transistors.

  I have also added 22pf capacitors parallel to he 100K resistors, for maximum low noise performance.
