In the meantime, if you want a quiet mike, try the MKH-20.

For too expensive for me. The AT I was looking at was $100. Any
other suggestions for a quiet omni for less, maybe 2-3 hundred?


A used AT 4049.

The problem is that most of your choices in that price range are going to
wind up using capsules with cheap integral fets.


I see a 4049a and 4049b.


The first was discontinued in favor of the second. I don't know how
different the noise floor is but they are very close to the same mike and
either one would be fine.
