Hi!
So Sebastian, have you tried SONY out as years have passed?
I use them all the time in Estonian National TV. ECM680S is our onboard mic on cameras. Can't say I love the sound.
I prefer Audio-Technica AT825 stereomic if possible. A bit noisy as well and electret, but still.
I haven't tried ECM680S in proper suspension.
I've been wondering, if the bigger sideholes are for the side-mics? So if the edge of softie-windjammer covers them, there won't be any MS stereo?
