Re: Question about In-Ear Microphones

[Hacihabiboglu H Dr <H.Hacihabiboglu@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Martin,

DPA 4060 is a reasonably priced (around Â150), high-quality,
omnidirectional, miniature microphone with a flat response in 0-10kHz range.
We use it for in-the-ear measurements (not for HRTF measurements as of
yet!). I would suggest you to check with the UK distributor. I don't
remember from which company we ordered ours but Canford, Studiospares,
Jigsaw etc. should all be selling these.

I have also heard of the Knowles microphones that Elena mentioned. Farnell
UK may probably be the place to look for them.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Huseyin
