When designing a microphone assembly the other day, I reached for an electret condenser microphone capsule without thinking. To be strictly accurate I ordered a pack of them, these small ...

Electret microphones are capable of high-quality output, and are prized for their smooth frequency response. However, unlike other types, they can’t simply be plugged directly into a mixing desk.

We also report on research and development on a silicon electret condenser microphone with improved mobility. A material composed of silicon atoms arranged in a regular lattice and forming a ...

HyperX didn't say much (or, well, anything) about the mic's condenser capsules. According to the specs, both mics will have three 14mm electret condenser capsules, like their predecessors ...
