<div>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. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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.</div>

<div>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 ? </div>

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