For the dynamics they are sensitive to vibration far more than any of my co=
ndensor mics, either cardioid or omni. I have used them with rode dead kitt=
ens / simple fur covers which work fine in very light wind - anything more =
and they go in blimps.
Im just compiling a quick demo comparing the dynamics to Shure MX391 Omnis =
(183 capsules) at 22 dBA vs 16ish.
