Definition of "disk-resonator":
The term disk resonator refers to a large-diaphragm capsule design pioneered by Aspen Pittman of Groove Tubes. It is an innovation designed to “compensate for the 14kHz frequency roll-off that is inherent in large diaphragm mics,” according to Sterling Audio.
This capsule design was used in all large-diaphragm condensers from Groove Tubes, and most of the LDCs from Sterling Audio.

Other manufacturers have typically solved this problem with corrective EQ circuits after the capsule; “boosting” the high frequency which unfortunately results in increased noise and other negative sonic artifacts from this band aid circuit approach.
Disk Resonator™ Technology incorporates a gold-plated brass “umbrella” that protrudes from the center of the diaphragm… It gently boosts the diaphragm’s sensitivity to shorter sound waves, allowing it to respond more accurately to those all-important higher frequencies. The result is a “perfect storm” of audio reproduction: optimal sensitivity, full frequency response, and a low signal-to-noise ratio.
