Dear NatureRecordists,
I was wondering if I could ask advice on the choice of a small mic? I
have used a trusty Sennheiser ME67 for 12 years now, but sometimes my
space is limited and I am looking for a small mic that will easily
fit in a "belly-bag"/"fanny pack" that I can use with my Edirol
R-09HR when out hiking, to record mainly birds.
My preliminary investigations have led me to two small mics that are
typically used as attachments on video cameras:
the Sennheiser MKE400 and the Ambient Tiny Mike ATM216 (for the
latter, see http://www.dvuser.co.uk/content.php?CID=162 and http://
www.ambient.de/produkte/mikrofone/tinymike/tiny_atm216pd/
tiny_atm216pd_mehr/tiny_atm216pd_mehr_e.html ).
Has anyone used these mics for nature recording? Any comments would
be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Callan
