Is it possible to attach the bass chamber from a dead D12 capsule to a (good) D17 capsule to effect the repair of the D12 ?
Cheers

Hi Mike,
No, it would not work, although the structure itself is the same. Firstly, D17 has a different diaphragm similar to D19B giving totally a different sound. Secondly the rear-wave damping/filtering is different meant to attenuate bass. So you would not get a D12 sound. Nevertheless, you would get a nice sounding mic, provided certain adjustments with the damping are made.
