I'm looking for a mic to use in a cube array. The 183s don't have the
same "bang for the buck" after their recent price increase, so I was
looking for other mics to consider. Price is an issue (since I would
need four of them) as is physical size (to fit inside the cube).

I've considered Klas' EM23, but that has unbalanced output, and I'm
thinking that I would probably have a long cable run.

I am open to suggestions.
