This is a well known fact. Manufacturing Capsule backplates is an art in itself. This process is the same for the P12, 2247LE and SE etc. hope this helps. Ben |
As I have always said. The "metalwork" comes from China. Who cares where it comes from honestly, it's just metalwork (not directed at you mics, just making an observation). Metal is metal. It's cost prohibitive to have the exact same metal made here in the USA. The fact is that the capsules are made here in the USA by John.
If you build a chair and use nails that were made in China does that make your chair Chinese? No, of course not. Nor does it affect the "build quality". The bottom line is that the Peluso mics are rock solid and backed up by John Peluso himself. Customers are taken care of when issues arise (few and far between but it does happen, just as it happens to any other manufacturer) and if/when you need John, he's usually happy to speak with you directly.
