Note that the MKH-30 has a pre attenuation switch (-10dB) on the side. 
The specs in parenthesis are for when you switch that in. Virtually 
never needed in nature recording so pay attention to the regular specs.

For some reason some of Sennheiser's spec pages have a footnote on this 
and others don't.
