Hi guys
I'm trying to build a general-purpose measurement microphone for under 25 €. I've done some reading on this site and I'm considering using the wm 61a electret capsule. Some people here recommend the Linkwitz modification which is aimed at reducing distortions at higher sound pressures.
It seems that this improvement is achieved by reducing the sensitivity of the mic. Wouldn't it be wiser to use a capsule like the monacor mce 4000 which has a lower sensitivity to start with? Or does the wm 61a have other advantages over the monacor one that I didn't take into account?
