Dan Dugan got it all started a while back with his shoulder mounted
ones. They have pretty good sensitivity, though fairly high self noise
for nature recording.
I believe most are using the WL's, and powering off the plug in power of
consumer MD. Even though the MX 183 has a slightly lower self noise
rating. The MX being designed for phantom power is a problem for folks
without that. I don't see why you would not use the entire kit on the MX
183, as it provides a balanced XLR connection.
If you search on Google, there are quite a few dealers pop up. Though I
don't know how many will ship to Australia. They also turn up on Ebay.
