Larry, I really don't wish to beat a dead horse, but if you insist.

for this new product is the Chassis (body). We absolutely build the mics in USA.

I understand why everyone is so jaded about this! Several High-Priced Chinese Mics with a
few aftermarket tweaks (re-skinned Chinese Capsules, etc.) have appeared in recent years.

However, if you tell people things that aren't the truth, it will undoubtedly come back to bite you. I'm not saying you are or aren't.

Now, about the PhD in Australia. PhD in what? Who cares? Were the people who designed the M7 PhDs? Does anyone care? Anyone?

How does the PhD help him design better capsules?
What is different from other capsules?

You say the capsules are made in the USA, imply something negative with Chinese capsules being re-skinned, yet JP Gerard stated the new ADK Australian Designed capsules are MADE in China

He also stated the boards are assembled mostly in China

Sheesh Larry......it just comes off very badly.
Why not just say the mics are a collaboration between people who have come up with a good product? Then there would be all of these questions.
Seriously - why?
Why do you keep bringing up the PhD? Why?

Just let it be.....please......
I don't want to be a pain in the butt, but you keep raising issues.......just like bringing this thread back from the grave and starting things all over again.

One last thing: You have contradicted JP Gerard. Which one of you is right?
