Hi all,
I was wondering if some of you can help me out with some suggestions.
I'm searching for some pencile type ( small diagram) figure 8 microphones.
I basically need them for outdoors
I know akg have some but i have troubles finding some on the internet. (it is showing me only large diagram solutions).
Does any of you use small figure 8 mics?
If so please tell me which ones or perhaps someone can give me advise.
Buget: well not to expensive because their asses are going to be kicked and won't live long... ( don't ask) :D
quality: they don't have to be high end audio
Thank you

I've never owned a figure-8 pencil condenser, only large-diaphragm figure-8 mics. I know that Oktava makes a small-diaphragm capsule that will fit their MK-012, but those aren't particularly inexpensive. I'm not sure how easy it will be to find low priced small diaphragm condensers with a figure 8 pattern. Good luck.
You've got me intrigued. What are you using them for?

Ok i will not answer that
uh ok I will tell you :p
We are planning to do a ambisonic / format b recording of a wild water rafting experience ....... from inside the boat and convert it to surround sound
So the change of drowning the microphones is a almost 70%
It is going to be for a rafting simulator
ok well I'm going to continue my search , thank you for the reply Mike

Wow. Sounds like a wild project! Hopefully, you'll get what you need on the first take, because your mics might not make it to take 2.

Just a little update :
We found some microphones which we can modify to our need.
We choose.......
.. I'm almost to afraid to name them
2 sets of 2 behringer c2 matched mics for 120 euros. They fitted in our budget and are great to rebuild them. A friend of mine is going to build a tetrahedron construction for them including brackets for the electronics.
Nothing much at this moment but i just wanted to let you know...
I know it is not fig 8 but we are going for the format A solution now and we don't need fig 8 anymore

Good mics for throwing overboard.
