[microsound] mics mics

[Rob Danielson]

There are quite a few options among the smaller, 
"lavaliere" electret mics and there is 
considerable repackaging under different names. 
Some of the capsules discussed here are new to me 
or I don't have source info for.

Here's a .doc  list of small lav mics with 
specs/prices and cross-marketing that I started 
compiling a little over a month ago.

If anyone has interest, maybe ones I missed could 
be added and posted somewhere or sent back to me 
and I'll add them to my "electret mics" page 
http://tinyurl.com/3v6med ?

For larger condenser mics, there several lists 
that can be downloaded and sorted for specific 
criteria here:

Always behind on these,..
