How do you read this stuff? For example, the Sennheiser MKH 30 has two ratings side by side: 25mV/Pa (8mV/Pa +-1dB) Which number would represent the effective sensitivity which I could compare with another mic, say the MBHO KA 100 LK capsule, which rates: 12 mV/Pa on the spec sheet? Does this mean that MKH mic is more than twice as sensitive as the MBHO, or that the MBHO is about one and a half times as sensitive as the MKH? Are there other factors in the spec sheets that I would have to take into account to get a good comparison between different mic sensitivities and self-noise? thx + best, d. =09 -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 40: "Decorate, decorate" ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ |
