I saw it a while back, tried to find specs without success. I gave up
when I ran into prices for it that were more than my MKH-30's cost. If
the price got to be a whole lot better it might be interesting to try,
though I doubt it's all that quiet. All kinds of things are called low
noise by their manufacturers, it's meaningless without specs.
Another comment I ran into seemed to be comparing it to the MKH-30 but
indicated it had very poor pickup of lower frequencies.
The little micro shotgun would be something else to investigate.
Probably not all that good on the specs either, though. Saw something
that indicated this one had polar patterns like the MKH-416.
Try writing them, if they don't come up with valid specs I'd say
forget them.
