Thanks for that suggestion, it is a significant improvement in the chamber mix, and for under $100 I feel pretty OK about leaving it up in the chamber forever.

Couldn't swing the bread for an Earthworks omni, but I can see how those would be effing incredible for a chamber mic. Someday, but not any day soon...
Shoot, that reminds me. I was going to suggest Karma Omnis.

You can get a pair for $35. I suppose you could put both up at different distances or put one in a tube or something and have a couple of different flavors of the chamber set up.
