if the mic's are placed directly right and left (without some sort of pinna) , then wouldn't the sounds coming from the back sound the like the sounds coming from the front?
i believe a lot of the premade mic's are just the panasonic wm-60 with proprietary modifications done to the capsule. they have an extrodinarily flat response (old colony's mitey mike, testint microphone uses the same capsule), but because of the cheap internal FET and resistor they tend to distort at high spl's. but the distortion can be lowered through modifications which can be found all over the net. the panasonic mics are damn good and cheap. i'll pick up some of the radio shack ones tomorrow and try them out. i've tried the larger ones and thought they were ok, but i like the panasonic caps more.
a portable headphone amp can work as a mic preamp, so you might beable to buy a DIY cmoy amp and pair that with the giant squid mic and batt box.
