microphones with very low current consumption



Dear,

I'm looking for ideas about microphones with very low current
consumption (say, less than few uA) and low cost(say less than $1).
Electret microphone elements typically include a JFET as an impedance
converter and the operating current of this JFET is typically 0.1 to
0.5 mA. As far as I know, there are microphones without JFET, so it
might be one of my alternatives.
Recently I checked yet another 2 options: Magnetic microphone and
Dynamic receiver. But once I had heard the prices for these parts, I
have stopped thinking about them.

Any suggestions and comments will be highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Eli
