Default Replacement for WM60/61 microphones

I've been looking for some Panasonic WM60/61 mic capsules but it looks like they are no-longer in production.

Does anyone know of a suitable alternative to these mics?

Ta!

I thought the MCE2000 was a panasonic capsule renamed by Monacor?

I can't find them either.

They are all listed non-stock, I gave them a call and they said they were obsolete.

All the Panasonic capsules are about 6 or 7 mm across, so I suspect there probably won't be much difference in the response due to diaphragm/wavefront related issues. I'd even guess they're all pretty well flat up to 8 kHz or so simply because the things won't change the frequency response until their size is a significant fraction of the wavelength, modulo back chamber resonances which I also suspect is well above the region of interest.


Cheers,
Francois.

You are right, their search doesn't work very well

If you search for 'wm6' you get the 60, 62, 64, 65, 66 and 67. If you search for 'wm-6' you get the whole lot. Daft!

I think I've found a source of the MCE2000.

Default MCE2000 = WM-60/61 ??

Can anyone actually verify that the Monacor MCE200 and the Panasonics are indeed the same breed? Anyone done any measurements/caibrations that care to comment?
