There is a difference between "possible" and "available." The inexpensive
electret elements used in this mic might very well be the best such elements
available for a small mic, but -- as anyone who owns Neumann or Pearl or other
high-quality studio mics well-knows -- they are hardly the the highest-quality
elements possible.
Nor does the poster understand the difference between "expect" and "want."
Ever wanted a high quality microphone for your Minidisc or DAT recorder, but
didn't expect to pay $40 or more? Many of these types of microphones are overly
priced at online stores and hard to find at local stores. Now you have the same
sound quality if not better at 40%-75% lower price. Satisfaction guaranteed.
This stereo mic uses the highest quality components possible. The electret mic
condenser is made in Japan. Use this mic to record live sounds, in stereo with
super realism playback. It is very sensitive and will capture sounds from far
away, even faint sounds in the background. You will hear realistic sounds in
stereo, with amazing clarity. Sounds are crisp, clear, like DVD's, and what's
different from other electret mic is that this has amazing bass quality. Use
with your minidisc recorder, DAT recorder, camcorder or with any other equipment
