If I have difficulty hearing significant differences, the mics
usually meet my personal criteria. I'll use test tones and make
sonograms if I detect something suspicious when testing by ear.
Maybe the next thing to do, Steve, is to take them into the high
humidity field conditions to see if they both are resistant to
moisture. Dan reporting using a shower; maybe he can describe how he
did this.
