Hmm. It would be easy to "activate" these as well since they are electrets, and probably the FET is on the back of the capsule.
Not sure I understand this statement. The capsules can't be removed from the body so I'm not sure why there would be any consideration of "activating" it...or are you thinking about hacking the mic body itself?
Yep, hacking the mic body. I've done stranger things, lol...
Anyway, unlikely to happen soon since I'm currently looking at omni mics. Next up, Countryman B3 lav.
