I don't know why people always compare to the Senn ME2's. While
the Sennheiser ME102 omni capsules are 2db down @ 100 hz/5db down @
40Hz and have a 4db peak between 8-10k, that's often pretty useful in a
live situation and a mild eq boost, and they sound almost the same off
axis as on axis. (Although I'm sure Len's mics are well worth the
money.)

Anyway I think they're good if you see them around. You can check
out the frequency response/noise spec/spl info for the ME102 capsules
on the pdf here.

Thanks for the tips on frequency response.

I'm also curious about the clarity or distortion of the mics. Anyway, I've
got a pair of MKE2's now (damn Ebay!), so I'll give them a try. I'm going to
AB them against a pair of Panasonic WM61A capsules.
