The Primo EM273 is similar to the EM272 but with higher SPL handling (135 dB vs 119 dB). Also, the simpleP48 doc has a few ideas about increasing the SPL headroom of some capsules.
EM273 is a 3-terminal version of EM272.? ie it is EM272 modified as on page 12 of SimpleP48.pdf dtd 29sep24 for use in SimpleP48RCA.

This, with EM273 has MUCH better overload performance and should be used if you are having overload problems.

I'm playing with some LTspice sims of SimpleP48RCA and it looks even better than I thought; at least in SPICE world :)
