Hi All,

I am spending some time in liverpool Childrens Hospital (UK) this year and part of what I will be doing is some field recordings in the Intensive Care Unit.

I am thinking of buying a pair of omni's for this (as one part of the kit).

I spoke to BeesNeez and they can make their Lulu Fet's omni for me.

I am wondering if this is the best choice and wonder if anyone has any other thoughts of omnis at around this level/cost?

Vic

you can usually pick up KM83 at good prices (less than 84) cause they are a bit less desirable..

The BeesNeez Lulu's are pretty well priced at $1148 for a pair.

I've heard good things about this mob's CM3 cardioid, this is thier omni..

Little Blondies are very good too.

I've heard good things about those Little Blondies. haven't tried them though.

Has anyone else tried them?

Vic

Little Blondies are nice (and cheap!) but have a bit too much self noise for quiet things. I'd be a little wary using them for field recordings.

These mini omni's are so cheap it' almost hurts.
I've had a pair for a few years, currently hung from a venue ceiling for crowd mics.
