Here's the results of a triangle shaped capsule, inspired by Ehrlund.?
I've shaved off a lot of the parasitic capacitance and the output is definitely higher. It's still sounding pretty narrowband mid-heavy. This one was done with about 150g of weight for membrane tension and the usual Scotch tape as a spacer.
I'm going to try increasing the backplate thickness with a second layer of PCB or maybe some acrylic to see if it gives better highs.
