John,
I plan to pick up one of those FL 158 mics, next week - Thanks for the link=
s to it. Sounds like it's just what I could really use here. The only quest=
ion/concern I have is: Does it have lower self-noise than these Panasonic W=
M-61A capsules I've been messing with? I made a couple of mics, without any=
of the recommended mods first. Also, a parabolic dish (with parts from the=
$0.99 store) and, so far, the handful of mics all produce quite a bit of n=
oise. Lots of background noise.
I have all the stuff set aside, to perform the various mods, etc., etc. I j=
ust haven't had the time yet. I wonder if any of those mods will correct th=
e noise problem?
I miss my cheap Audio Technica ATR-55...at least it didn't have any noise.
Thanks,
Al
