The microphone capsule is the main part that makes the microphone work. It is essential that this part is functioning properly.

Thanks for that,
Can i just replace the capsule as seen in the last picture?
Has it to be resoldered? Where do those very fine copper wires go?
It's been a few years since I made the guide and no longer have any microphones nearby to examen, but if I remember correctly, there is no soldering between the capsule and the housing. I believe the housing is soldered to the rest of the body with the silver leads at the bottom left of the picture.
Somehow the grill got really stuck and I want to replace it. It it screwed or is it as you've said - slidable?
You can unscrew just the grill.
Hi, a bit unrelated but I accidentally twisted the black plastic piece slightly while everything was still intact. I turned it back though, did I damage the SM58 in any way?
