Hi Marc--
The lowest noise commercial "lavaliere" mics  I know of are the DPA
4060's with around 22dB(A) self-noise.  Klas' "clip-on" mics are
lavaliere-sized and they have about 14-15 dB(A) self-noise.  Mike
Rooke is also packaging small electret mic capsules with about the
same noise performance. Rob D.
