Yes, I think it was the 4006. It was B&K's top of the line model, chosen by
Crown for use in their original SASS-P, which had a special mount for the
B&Ks.

They are certainly considered to be a very good microphone. It's just that
they were clearly inferior to the Sennheiser MKH 20s in terms of noise floor
level, plus the "quality" of the noise floor. Unfortunately, I don't
remember anything about the output level of the B&Ks I tested.
