The tested ~100dBu noise bed on the MT mic pre
for both the phantom and pip inputs could place
it in same performance realm as your Sharp MD.
The MT's PIP mic input gain is really low,
somewhere around 35dB Sony, Sharp don't publish
specs on the noise performance of their specs but
we have some clues. We ordered some MT's . I'm
curious how they'll do up against a HiMD/Rolls.
16 bits, high gain and low noise vs. 24 bits, low
gain and more noise,...we'll see,

Yes, some do, some don't, and the spec sheets
don't tell the whole story. Rob D.
