the DPA 4060' s are GREAT mics, but not the most quiet out there.. actually=
they are a bit noisy, but nevertheless their sound and resistance to humid=
ity is GREAT
alternatively you could try some DIY options but they are usually electret =
ones and demand plug-in power and a mini-jack rather than phantom/XLR
there are also the sony ECM-77 or similar - but they are even more noisy..
I cannot think of anything else at the moment..
