Ed,
According to the Tech Specs on Sennheiser's UK website the figures in
parentheses refer to the figures relevant when the (10dB?) attenuator is
switched in.
Alternative 'figure-of-8' microphones of a convenient size seem few and far
between but there is one made by AKG as part of their 'Blue Line' modular
range. The capsule is the CK94 which fits onto the amplifier barrel SE300B.
Cheaper than the MKH30 but the noise figures are less good. You pays your
money and takes your choice. I wonder if anyone on this list has actually
tried it?
More common are one-piece M&S mics such as the
Pearl MS8 and the MS2
Pearl MSH10 and MSH20
Audio Technica AT815 ST and the AT835ST
Sennheiser MKH 418-S
Note that one-piece M&S mics are a good deal more convenient to carry around
than a 2-mic combo such as the Sennheiser MKH 60/ 30 combo with its wind
protection.

I just took a look at the Mkh-30 specs. They are unusual in that the
noise and sensitivity specs each include a second number in
parentheses. For example, the sensitivity is given as "25 (8) mV/Pa +-
1 dB". I couldn't find any explanation for the second number. Can
anyone explain this? Most mic specs that I look at give a single
number.
