Actually, our $69 mic is not an Audio technica mic. The $69 mic system uses
Panasonic mic elements.

Hmmm...I couldn't find an AT922 on their product list....possibly you are
referring to the AT933?

Actually, it's performance is exactly the same as the AT853's...it uses most of
the same mic elements, so they sound identical when using the elements that they
share (Omni, subcardioid, cardioid or hypercardioid elements). The 933 does have
one additional element available..... the shotgun element, which is very nice
for long range recording.

The shotgun is the only element that fits on the 933 that does not fit on the
853. All of the other elements are the same.

Point well taken. The Oades are good guys to work with, and their modification
that they do to DAT decks is a nice alternative to using a battery box.
As a point of interest, to the best of my knowledge, all of the mic of this type
(using the Panasonic elements), by the various manufacturers (Core Sound,
MarcSounds, Sonic Studios and The Sound Professionals) are also hand made with
great attention given to the quality of the finished product.
As far as recording experience, I know Len at CS has been taping shows for a
very long time. I personally started making live recordings in the early 70's
using (gasp!) cassette and reel to reel decks. It still amazes me that my little
MD sounds better than my 60 lb reel to reel deck.. ;-)
Anyway, I hope this is useful info......
