#16 Cheap chinese BM700 / BM800 microphone modding / upgrade, part 2 (CK12 & K47 capsules)

<Continuation from part 1>

After quite a while, i "finally" got around to modding the other three BM800 mics i had. Just for the hell of it, i decided to make a matched triplet (to use as, say, three overheads on a big drum set).

I went with more of my modded-Schoeps boards, and matched components between them, as closely as i could (within reason, at least). Resistors were no big deal, and neither were the capacitors; one of those cheapo chinese ATMega328-based "component testers" helped with matching the JFETs and PNP transistors. No, i didn't necessarily care about the absolute values, just that they're the same (or as close as reasonably possible).
