Hi group,
I didn't find much on this topic in the archives, but it seems folks
generally avoid ribbon mics for nature recording: is this because
their sensitivity is to low?
The reason I am wondering is I noticed an ad for a Beyerdynamic M160
(hypercardiod) & M130 (figure 8) combo, but looking at the specs I
can't understand how to compare them to specs of the condenser mics I
am used to using.
Beyerdynamic's M130 data sheet shows:
Open circuit voltage at 1 kHz (0dB =3D 1V/Pa): 1.0 mV/Pa ≡ -60 dBV
Can anyone put this in terms relevant to nature recording?
Happy Halloween!
