OK so as promised I'm posting two soundfiles recorded with my Aevox mics

location: playground @ Golden Gate Park, San Francisco
rig: Aevox MkII > Sound Professionals-SPSB-5 > Archos402 camcorder (used as a digital audio recorder)

recorded at 44.1kHz/16bit
(Archos doesn't do 96kHz/24 bit)

mic config: A-B @ 40cm...
ambience recorded: mics facing forward + flat on a stone bench
kids on slide recorded: mics on ground facing forward
preamp gain: +22dB
converted using Audacity>LAME > 192kbps

Nice. Were you sitting between the mics?

You should upload them to www.freesound.org :)

no, I was standing ~2 meters behind the mics and recorder
but keeping a watchful eye on my rig ;)

the primary aevox models look a lot like the little naiant mics.  are they supposed to be better than naiants (ie, less noisy)?

the manufacturer publishes no spec for the Aevox mics
but he has capsules made to his specification
I have no idea how they stack up against the Naiant mic's

I don't record live music at all
not my thing
but maybe there is someone else on TS with Aevox mics that could do this?

Seems like nobody got Aevox there :)

How does it cope with high SPL ?

since Aevox doesn't publish 'specs' there is no info on their web site about what the max SPL they can handle
but as I record mostly sound effects and ambiances I have yet to encounter anything approaching the levels of electric live music (i.e. not acoustic)
the mics are sensitive to low freqs so care must to taken to use a hpf during some recordings so the mics don't distort
