hi all,

for those interested in "bench racing" recorders, I've checked with  
Sound Devices tech support and they confirmed that the sensitivity of  
the normal gain mic input is -47.4dBu  for 0dBFS. The figure of 70dB  
gain often mentioned in the archives simply didn't sit right with the  
correction figures used in Rob D's sub $1000 recorder tests, nor with  
Raimund Specht's test figures.  a sensitivity of -47.4dBu for 0dBFS  
plays nicely with both sets of testing.

cheers
paul
