Hi Julian--
Its self-noise performance (IEC-179) of 18dBA is a bit on the high
side at its price point. Hopefully someone on the list has at least
taken one out for a drive. Unique features of interest: it can be
self or phantom powered and it has extremely high sensitivity: "100
mV/Pa, Rec. min. load imp: 6 kohm." This might be _too_ "hot" for a
dish? I've not seen a sensitivity rating that high before. Rob D.
