Just a FYI that I e-mailed Studio Projects about the availability of hyper caps for the C4s, and got this reply:
We are indeed developing a hypercardioid capsule for the C4 small condenser. It is not on the market yet, but I am slated to do some more work on my prototypes towards the end of this month, at which point I could probably finish - provided I don't have some other deadline. Hypercardioid patterns are fairly easy to make - the hard part is making them sound good and that can be time-consuming.
The capsule would show up in the next production run of C4's, but that probably won't happen 'til fourth quarter of this year. There is however, the distinct probability that once a production model is ready and being built, we will have a quantity flown over and available through our website. Price: dunno. I'd have to sit down with Alan, but I'm sure they won't break the bank.
When the capsules do become available, either Alan or myself will post on taperssection.com as well as our own website to give everyone a heads-up.
Thanks for your interest. I've seen some good words about the C4's on the taperssection site and I'm really happy that people are getting good use out of them.
Let me or Alan know if you have any further questions. He'll either answer you directly or flip it to me if he's overrun, or if the question is of a technical matter that he would rather I address.
Sincerely,
