Re: Small condensor mics for stealthy sound fx gathering?

I use a pair of Shure omni lavaliers, model 183 (the WL-183 model is
capsules wired to TA-5F, WL means for Wireless, typical application for
these) Mine are mounted in the headband of a baseball cap, which acts
as a slight windscreen. Stocking cap would work too. Have to be
careful of cloth noise of course.

Their output is very hot and self-noise is low, almost as low as the
DPA 4060s which cost 4x what these do.

I believe it was Dan Dugan who pioneered their use. Lots of discussion
and info over at the naturerecordists yahoo group.
