There are a few good articles about lavaliere microphones here on the discussion board, however I have a unique take on lavaliere microphones that I haven't seen addressed--reparability.
I’m in the process of phasing out our Sony ECM-55B’s in the studio and out in the field for something smaller. What are you using, how rugged have they’ve been? Are they repairable? What were the repair costs?
I’m looking to keep under $325 per mic, and it must be battery powered (non-phantom powered).
Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated!
