be interesting to include the Reactive Sounds Auris mic which uses  
Panasonic WM-61 capsules...

[Aaron, I wouldn't mind doing a weekend swap at some point in the  
future i.e., swap your WL183's for my RS Auris so you can test it...]

FYI: the spec sheet for the WM-61capsule is available online here:

from what I can tell the FR looks flatter than the DPA's...not sure  
about the noise level though...and most lavs have that bump in the  
high end in order to be able to record dialog better when hidden  
under clothing...not sure this sort of coloration is good for  
location recording...?

that being said though, I don't have anything to compare my Auris mic  
to so I'd be very interested in the location recording gurus on the  
list offering their sage wisdom! :)
