[LAU] OT: Microphone choice for pipe organ

The Behringers are very noisy, and they vary wildly in characteristics
from unit to unit.  They're literally made with whatever was cheapest
that day from any given supplier.

I use them as 'starting points' for building nicer calibrated mics
because I can reuse the bodies, PCB and connector.  And for $39,
that's cheaper than starting from raw components.  But the first thing
I do is toss the capsules and half the electronics on the board.
They're literally hilarious on the inside.

In short--- they're worth the $40 as parts, but not quite as a mic.
