Sony ECM Capsule Interchangeability?

mastermix · 3rd May 2007

Is it possible to interchange mic capsules on the Sony ECM-55(omni) and ECM-66(cardioid) lavalier mics?

I see that the capsule screws off of the ECM-55's that I have, would be nice to be able to swap capsules rather than have to have more mics(not that that is a bad thing)...

Difference in price between the two is $70 or so.

I just got in some ECM-66's to replace the 55's. We are using them in a PA situation, thus the swap.

Before sending the 55's back I swapped capsules between the two. They work.

I guess the issue would be getting the capsules separately.
