John:
    The frequency response I am looking for is much lower than your 15 to 30
kilo hertz or is this just a typo?  A drum mic may work.  I just hate
spending $200 on something that you may never record!  The last meteor sonic
boom I heard over this area was over 10 years ago if I recall correctly.
