Some interesting info on the aspects and matching requirements for measurement omnis in this document (from the parent company from which DPA originated)- Primers: Measurement Microphones (BR0567-12) - Brüel & Kjær
Quote from: Snowman on July 05, 2016, 12:25:06 PMi recall that one of our well respected TS gurus stated that matched capsules are what makes a stereo pair a stereo pair..... except for omni's. omni's don't need to be matched. especially when they are run as split omni's. and i can't imagine that omni's that are worn on the body would need to be matched either.YMMV.alright....... maybe i pulled this one out of my place where the sun don't shine. of course, i have no proof of nothin'..... but i swear i recall reading this info. if i can dig up anything relevant regarding this potential mis-information, i'll report back.

I would never try to speak for David, but reading his post, it seems like he is talking about matching sensitivities " down to the last fractions of a dB". That's quite a bit different than "omni's don't need to be matched". Miq
I have a pair where someone bought individual mics off ebay, I presume used off Broadway probably, and put them together in a standard 1/8" miniplug. That's the story which was told to me, and they were pretty reasonably priced, so I believe it.
