Has this lavalier possibly got an ancient 30 or 50 Ohm coil? This

Sony were the originator of the small high quality personal mic - the
ECM 50. Dunno what ECM actually stands for, but rumour was electret
condenser mic. And I dunno again if they ever made a moving coil
personal - it doesn't make sense these days given how cheap an
electret is.


Mental note - get replacement MCE2 for the one I broke last week...
