After Eric Benjamin told me how well the A-T 3032 omnis had
measured
in his lab, I ordered a pair to evaluate. The specs say that they
have a self-noise level equivalent to 16 dB SPL. Eric said he
measured the one he got at 8 dBA! I suspect a lot of the
difference
(being quieter than the spec) had to do with A-T quoting their
noise
level from a flat measurement, whereas most manufacturers will
quote
a weighted (dBA) measurement because it produces a better
number.

END SNIP
