The other part of my mod is a simple one.. The guys at Sennheiser did not use metal screen on the sides of the mics and on top of the diaphragm.. ( There is a course mesh ) but that is not good enough to block out RF and other types of interference. So I put in a fine brass mesh screen this allows your mics to be protected for debris and it greatly reduces inducted noise and provides a much better electrical shield then plastic mesh while not effecting frequency response. This is how I can reduce the sensitivity while not increasing the noise floor as much as one would think a 12 db reduction would do.

Chris, is it possible to replace the capsule to cover up the mesh? The mesh not only doesn't look good but will likely be more noticeable when trying to stealth.
Sorry I dont follow are you talking about the mesh I put on or the mesh that is already there?
The mesh I put on is underneath the mesh that is from the factory. The factory mesh is necessary because it protects the mic diaphragm from damage. Its just that the mesh is so course that objects can get in past the mesh and deposit them selves onto the diaphragm the mesh I use is so fine that it does not effect the mics response and it prevents debris from collecting on the diaphragm.
