I'm looking for suggestions for small, cheap but usable stereo mic. The application is for IEM ambient mics, and I'd like something small to be able to attach to a mic stand or the like to get the localization sounding a little more correct per user vs the 'one on each corner of the stage' approach. I'm OK with dealing with an adapter cludge or building a special cable if something marketed as a camera mic fits the bill. Again it just needs to be small enough to not look silly clamped to a vocal mic stand, and it needs to be cheap enough for a sound guy to afford it as an addition to his personal IEM evangelism kit. I realize this is probably a "good, fast, cheap: pick two" situation, but here's hoping.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

This one although a blatant Schoeps copy should sound quite good.
