soundman OKMII mic's self noise

[Phil Schr=F6ter <>]

Hi all,

Do anyone of you use SoundMan OKM microphones for ambience recordings in th=
e
field?
If yes, what do you think about their self noise? Do they produce so much
self noise that the recording gets too bad and noisy?

I did some recordings with them, I'm pretty happy about their stereo image
but i'm not sure if their self noise gets too strong in relation to singing
birds.
I don't have much experience in mic's self noise and that's why I ask you.
I just compared the soundman mic's self noise to the sennheiser me67 one
and, a big difference.
If no one here this mic, I will ask Doug to put one of my recordings on the
binary files page.

thanks and happy birding!

Phil Scroeter
