[Elecraft] KX3 - Microphone idea

[Rick Stealey]

I admit I know almost nothing about microphones.  But I wonder if there are other
characteristics relating to the element that might be important in addition to frequency
response, such as the amount of sound pressure a mic can take before it distorts.
i.e. if a contester is close talking a boom mic/headset combo, and screaming loudly
will some mics take it and others turn to mush?  Because they DO close talk their
mics and they DO scream in their excitment.
