You have to try it. It's a cool thing, and it might not be your thing, but you should at least be familiar.



This is also constructed like a measurement capsule (although it's not a measurement capsule). It's got a titanium diaphragm that is made in place rather than being stretched across the capsule. It's a much slower process and I don't think it can be automated very much. Beyond that I don't know but I'd love to take one apart and see. B&K did a couple things when they adapted the Western Electric capsule to make it easier to manufacture and I am curious what Neumann's take on the idea is like.
