<<Does anyone have experience using ECM-50 mics for binaural recording? I'v=

Twenty five or more years ago I used to use a variation of this model, the =
ECM-150 IIRC (unbalanced, battery powered,) for a lot of quasi-binaural rec=
ording. Quasi because the mics were mounted on a pair of headphones, not a =
true replica of human pinnae. Although I loved the imaging, I found the noi=
se level to be quite high & for all but very robust sound sources, ultimate=
ly unacceptable.
