I was thinking that Gianni's and Raimund's tests on the MT24/96's mic
pre are pretty much in agreement and consistent with some experience
we've built-up with MD's pre performance. Its my understanding that
for transparency, the noise floor of the mic pre should be 7dB-10dB
lower than the mic's self noise. From recent tests, the MT24/96's mic
pre (balanced input, max gain) noise floor is on par with a mic have
a self noise of 10-13dB(A), so the noise from the MT 24/96's mic pre
would be faintly audible with a mic with self noise of 20dB(A). Dan
Dugan's tests have shown that the MD mic pre noise is effectively
buried by a the self noise of the Shure WL-183's mics at 23dBA. So,
MD recordists, if the MT24/96 performs like a "Pro" recorder, you
might make the same claim about your 8 year old Sharp MT-90. If my
count is correct, the list of recorders with mic pres able to take
advantage of mics with <10dB(A) self noise is still pretty short.
