    Perhaps JFET might be more accurate?

    The clip is promising i don't see why it wouldn't sound good on the air?!?

    There is no doubt a difference between the fidelity and the range, will be nice to hear it with distance.

    Should sound similar to palomar sl41 with filter and Heil pr40 without filter.
    Recording was through my talkback.
    Nobody local has an opinion worth listening to.
     
    Ougigoug Thanks this.

    Well it is an electret mic, unless you opened it up and changed the amp in it.

    An electret mic contains a small JFET to amplify the signal coming from the microphone diaphragm; the specific JFET is selected by the manufacturer to ensure the microphone has the right gain and response. Usually these JFETs are chosen with the expectation of a relatively quiet environment, and trying to record a concert only results in a ton of distortion. By putting a resistor between the source of the JFET and ground of the microphone, it’s possible to reduce this distortion.
