Just to let you know Not all of us " mic makers" use cheap panasonic capsules the wm-61a is a good capsule. The wm-60at is no longer made. I use much more expensive capsules on my more pricey mics and panasonic wm-61a on my cheaper mics under $30.00. There is a lot of labor that go's into making a mic. Some of the makers out there really know there stuff to name a few Visivox Technologies, Core Sound ect. all make good products you are paying for more then a bag of parts your paying for a good product carefull attention to detail and the know how to build something that will sound good. I just wanted to add my two cents
