Klas--
I know you are proud to have solved the low voltage PIP riddle and I
hope that people take advantage of this success.
Unless it becomes very expensive to do, I would not yet rule out
offering the EM-23 in an XLR or TRS phantom package. Lots of
recordists make their first priority "small" and their second "low
self noise/high gain." Binaurals could be the most common mics used
in field recording across all applications.
At 14dBA self noise and ~10mv/Pa sensitivity,. you've got a mic
clearly worthy of making quality/24 bit recordings with and most of
those recorders can't use a PIP version, right? On the marketing
side, folks who spend $200 on a HiMD deck are harder to convince they
need to spend double that on mics-- whereas folks who get $1000
recorders seem to ready to spend more on mics. If the packages were
small enough to wear binaurally, folks now spend $900 considering
the DPA 4060's as their best option. A look at the 4060 specs
suggests the em23 would be a better choice. I've talked with quite
a few foks who are contemplating taking apart of pair of 3032's to
see if they can separate the capsules from the preamps to slim down
the size. People lust for small, low noise omni's. Rob D.
