Hi David--
It would be a big boon to quality budget-minded recording to know
whether the self-noise performance is comparable to the 3032's, 8
dB(A). A simple way to see if it close using your gear is to connect
one 4022 to your SD recorder and your MKH-40 to the other channel and
set gain either at full or in the 48 to 55dB range and record some
room tone running on batteries with as much turned off as possible.
With a 10 sec clip, we can determine a lot. Rob D.
