Thanks for the advice. I'll try connecting one side of the mike to the
shield. That was the next thing on my list to try.
I will make one of your mikes eventually. But gimme a break -- i don't
expect the Panasonic minis to compare to a 451, no matter what a great
value they are, and i am recording acoustic music in a quiet room, not
rock concerts through a PA. ;-)
BTW -- is there a source for the AudioTechnica capsules instead of the
Panasonic? I don't see them at Digi-Key.
