Thank you Harry.
This really shows how far you can come with these mics. Very light to carry and place and a quite respectable sound. It might not be an engineers first choice as main mics when there are no limits, but these really pack in more punch than their weight.

Just an association, coming to my mind:
I am firmly committed to believing that the single most important factor in acoustic music recording is mic placement (that is, from the things we as recorders can influence, the performer of course comes before everything else) . And these small mics, perhaps three of them in a Decca tree, hanging on a ligth-weight but safe carbon fiber rod construction could be packed in a backpack and be just the solution in some situations. Situations where the alternative, given the limits, might be an ORTF setup in the audience space.
