No I haven't, Luis. I have a PFA phantom to plug-in power module which I'm =
very happy with, and am considering a Tinybox for my M10. It seems that Nai=
ant mics are very well regarded sonically, but being aimed at music rather =
than nature recording they are not super quiet (but not too bad - the U-O o=
mni is 15dBa).
