To compare the recordings I normalized all to a same arbitrary peak
level (-6dB); this way all recordings have been processed. Then I
simply made the global spectra of each of them and overlaid all the
graphs. On the graphs I see the noise plateau of each recording. The
EM23 don't have the traditional white noise floor of many mics, but
something more similar to a pink noise.
Klas, I'll send you the graph privately.
