new A-T X/Y field recording mic

["Dan Dugan" dandugan_1999]

There's an interesting new product from Audio-Technica, the BP4025 X/Y
Field Recording Mic.

<http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/5bbed15003fe56a2/>

It's an XY pair (on a tiny barrier) of large-diaphragm electrets.
Sensitivity is high, -32 dB re 1V at 1 Pa, and self-noise is 14 dBA.
Phantom power down to 11V, 5-pin XLR. Response and polar plots look a
bit rough. Street price around $600.
