Definition of "elm-capsule":
The ELM Capsule is a long rectangular condenser capsule developed by Bernt Malmqvist of Pearl Microphone Lab in 2003.
It borrows some of the ideas of Rune Rosander’s original Model 2700 rectangular, but stretches it to new dimensions: 75mm x 15mm.
The suspended area of the diaphragm measures 69mm x 10mm.
One of the primary changes in performance due to the longer dimension is a more-extreme altering of the capsule’s polar pattern, which becomes much narrower in the long direction. That is, the width of the capsule has a relatively broad pickup pattern, but the length has a narrower pattern, especially above 3kHz.
PML uses polyester diaphragms, metalized by a thin coating of vaporized aluminum. The diaphragms are covered with a perforated metal plate. Pearl technicians state that the metal plate does not affect the capsule’s frequency response, but rather provides mechanical stability; however, sound waves passing through any sort of mesh or perforated plate will be altered in some way. Whether that change is audible depends on the size and placement of the holes through which the sound passes.
