The AFAB has an 1/8" mini trs headphone jack that puts out a bone crushing
level.

I couldn't hazard a quess as to the MKH20/condom sound quality - but condoms
are cheap. Give a try in the bathtub.

I found the condom results pretty poor, myself. But that was using a dynamic
mic.

Maybe if I had used a ribbed condom for greater sensitivity ...
