It's not so much the microphone, but what you connect it to: because of the relatively low sensitivity, you really need a low-noise pre-amp. I use a Metric Halo ULN-8, which works extremely well with the TetraMic. The ST450 outputs at line level, so mic pre-amps are not an issue. And of course, Australian nature is a damned site louder that the English variety...
