At your risk.
This post may be wrong. I am not sure but ma condenser microphones create very low frequency thumps as well?
An attempt has been made to contact the producer John Simon through his website. A reply has not been received yet.
A guess is that it may be a ribbon such as RCA 44-BX, with bass correction inductor at position V2, see:

By carefully listening Leonard Cohen Greatest Hits on CD - Sony CD Walkman - Sennheiser HD580 at least 3 great very low frequency thumps can be heard on words start6ing with T, For example the end, "(T)ouched your perfect body."
Ribbon microphones have the ribbon tuned at a very low frequency, as there are designed as mass controlled. Mass controlled means that after the resonant frequency it is mass that dictates what happens to the moving ribbon. As frequency increases amplitude of vibration falls, but the voltage output of microphone remains constant because the velocity of the ribbon remains constant as frequency increases. (EMF is proportional to velocity in the physics' law of induction). See Microphones _ Neumann - Bore, Peus
And it's also the perfect articulation, it sounds too natural to be a condenser microphone. But who knowns?
