What is the difference between a contat and a frap mic?

When i bought mine I requested a longer cable between the contact mic & the preamp which has been handy, although you have to be careful as the cable is sensitive to handling noise...
So you advice me to buy a Transaudio with long cable in stereo edition right?

-This no room acoustic thing is very important to me.

-Great examples. I realy love the windy sounds they recorded from the wirres.
You have any tip how to stick the contact mics best to the soundsource?
Someone told me "Bostrich" would be the best material for that.

I will email Transaudio and ask for prices.

Thanks a lot / Cheers Tilman
