this was possibly the radioshack pzm, long discontinued though still 
around secondhand. actually goes for more than it cost in the first 
place on ebay, surprise surprise.

it is a similar configuration to the "flat panel" mic you mention below.


both these and the coresound/ sound professionals binaurals are based on 
a panasonic condenser capsule which sells from radioshack, or maplin as 
i know it, for 2GBP.

so in the interests of saving money, why not buy a couple and make your 
own binaurals. it's pretty easy- at the lowest level you can simply 
solder the capsules to a suitable wire. there's much information out 
there on more complex methods- the results are very comparable, for a 
fraction of the cost...
