So, does anyone know if the capsules/bodies are compatable? Alot of us have got a significant investment (
) in AT853 gear. Myself I've got something like ten various capsules and three different sets of mics!

The new UE-x capsules are compatable with the older unipoint series mics. I read it somewhere on the AT site a week or so ago. Don't know if the older capsules are compatable with the new bodies (don't remember them saying so, but the threads must match if the new capsules fit the old bodies).
Also, there are probably omnis still available, but only white in color. I doubt that the new UE-x capsules will be seen for $28 (like good ol' alpha s&l), so you might want to check on the 'older' omni capsules while they last (if they haven't sold out yet). Discontinued doesn't necessarily equate to unavailable. Good luck!
