Aaron,
It's a triumph of practice over theory. I found any mic, if laid touching a=
surface, from lapel mic omnis to MKH416's, all sounded "closer".
The answer to your last question is to test it before relying on it, hence=
the drumming fingers test.
I extended my "boundary" experiments by inventing the Brinibox. Check it ou=
t
against Sennheisers:

The price difference between these rigs is 100:1.
The prototype:

I've got the theory behind this design, but it was developed practically.
The copyright is open-with-attribution if anyone wants to make a foldable
version, but this would require sealed joints.
