According to Michael Vladimirsky, the ones out of theirs he thought
might do best was the Omni from the 012 set, and a PZM, the Nevaton
CMC47 (which costs about $400). The latter has been used some in
tropical areas for nature recording. It works well as a pair with a
central plexi disk between for stereo according to Michael. The
components of the 012 set have a new and old version, I don't know
what's different.
I've a pair of Marshall MXL2001's that I plan to do some testing. So far
I've only recorded one mono bit with them. They spec at 20dBA for noise,
sensitivity at 15mV/Pa. With a 25mm diaphragm I guess they qualify as
large diaphragm.
The one recording was nice enough I'm going to try some more, it was
only 30 seconds worth. I ran that one with no low end cutoff, so it has
some noise, most of which was there.
I'm kind of hoping they might work well for the frogs in a thunderstorm
recording I want to make.
Anyway, I'm not giving up on large diaphragm yet.
