I wonder if this what Sound Pro means by "AT350"?
http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/71d870fb398e6978/index.html
Can folks find another lav mic match under "350?"

According to AT's specs, which some regard as not
the most reliable (for both good and bad), the
ATM350 has an about 27dB(A) self-noise and pretty
low sensitivity. Its cardioid, made more for
close-up applications. So, maybe SP is using
another capsule?

I believe the most field-tested, generally
available, often DIY'd, quality standard setting
omni lavaliere capsules are the Panasonic
WM-61A's.  You can ask Chris at SP, but the
WM-61A's could be packaged under this number now:

No need to pay that much. The micbuilders list
has a wealth of info about electret mics-- many
one that one can buy and easily solder-up.  I've
assembled some links to that world here:

-- but there are many electret DIY projects with
these capsules on line. We made 120 pair last
fall:
