At that price definitely worth consideration, so I had a closer, second look at the specification.
The noise for the PCR24 looks suspiciously low.
Usually the more tensioned membrane that produces a flat response to 40 kHz also reduces the sensitivity, so the noise floor in SPL is worse.
They claim a 40 kHz response, have a lower sensitivity but the noise floor barely any different, hmm.
Still looks fairly nice, buy one and satisfy everyone's curiosity
If it’s too good to be true…
A few years ago I contemplated about a small microphone on a thin rod of at least 50cm. That, in fact, is still a good if not the best way to have the least intrusions in the direct sound field. And quite some loudspeaker developers use that technique. But I figured: 'hey, a pole of about 20-25mm that extends behind a standard microphone isn't a bad alternative to that and very flexible (for interchangeable microphones) too.' So I went the way I described above.
