### 2. Functional Description
The POM-2735P-R operates on the principle of a **variable capacitor**. It consists of a thin, metallized diaphragm placed close to a backplate that holds a permanent electrostatic charge (the "electret").
- **Acoustic to Electric Conversion:** Sound waves vibrate the diaphragm, changing the capacitance between it and the backplate.
- **Internal JFET:** Because the signal produced by the capacitor is extremely high impedance, the capsule contains an internal **Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET)**. This transistor acts as an impedance converter, buffering the signal so it can be transmitted over wires without significant loss.
