A friend just sent this link to me. Pretty cool to see how different folks go about this.

...I think Dave was motivated to build his own capsules after years of frustration over inconsistencies in capsule tuning/tensioning from other sources...

Looks fun... I hate to nitpick, but as i'm watching the video of this man pre setting the gold dot WAY off center in the tensioning weight ring, i can't help but believe that the basic physics of leverage and distance will ensure that that skin will absolutely NOT have even tensioning under clamping pressure, which will in turn make this capsule sound sub par, it's not at all unlike tuning a drum head, the tensioning weight needs to be absolutely perfectly centered over the back plates or it's a fail. Hate to put him on the spot, but I wonder what Shannon would think of this vid? |

I hold the utmost respect for the few that can make a great capsule though, especially the ones who machine and drill the plates too. Dave makes some really nice mics though. |
