I have to redo a couple microphones and ran out of condenser elements. I do not remember what I was using. What are the best elements to use? I hear mentioned on the forum Panasonic WM-61A quite often.

Mike, This will be going in to a HTX-100 Microphone. Not a CB microphone. Will it still sound good?
Yes, it will. Except htx-100 modulation circuit which is not so perfect

Thanks Mike,
I have switched out two or three HR2510 microphones with bad elements and I am told they sound fantastic. Way better than the factory microphone when compared side by side.

WM-61A's showed up today. Are they supposed to be about half the size of the factory or Radio condenser microphone elements? They sure are not what I used the last time but if this is what everyone is talking about they do have the most sound spectrum of anything else I have looked up so far.
Might want to try sending him a PM. Or what they call a "conversation" on this forum. If he set it up to send him email, he'll get notified. Says he last signed in here November 2024.

The best condenser element I have seen, comes from a telephone handset. Natural sound and no EQ needed.
The best telephone condenser electret I have found is the Western Electric EL-2 Element. Used in all WECO phones made post 1989. Good natural sound and high sensitivity. I'll dig one out of my stuff and post a picture
