Thanks for summarising the specs. I notice the datasheet for the
me-66 shows the LF response rolls off from about 750Hz, whereas the
416 is flat down to 100Hz.
Any idea what impact this has on the overall self noise spec?
Anyway it sounds like it might be worth hanging on to the ME66 until
I can compare them side by side.
cheers
