I purchased a Sennheiser K3U/ME80 back in 1991. The accompanying data
sheet (published in 1987) reports the following specifications:
K3U:
Electrical impedance: approx. 130 ohms
ME80:
Frequency response: 50 - 15 000 Hz
Sensitivity at 1 kHz: 5 mV / Pa +-2.5 dB
S/N ratio according to DIN 45 405 and CCIR 468-2: >67 dB
The most important difference between the K3/ME80 and the K6/ME66 is
the much higher sensitivity of the ME66 (50 mV/Pa vs. 5 mV/Pa). So,
the ME80 would require a quieter preamplifier. The equivalent
self-noise level of the K3/ME80 is about 6 dB higher than the K6/ME66.
The specified S/N ratio of 67 dB corresponds to an equivalent (CCIR
468-3 weighted) noise level of 27 dB (which would be about 16 dBA).
