googling some of the article titles at the bottom of the review I managed to
locate the original article - far less entertaining:
http://homerecording.about.com/od/microphonereviews/fr/at4022_review.htm
Going back and reading Eric Benjamin's AT3032 posts personally I can't see
anything that supports a claim for 8dB self noise for the AT3032's. Eric
stated that the AT3032 were slightly quieter than the MK2's so we are relying
on the MK2's matching the manufacturers spec of 11dB to derive a figure a sub
11dB figure the AT3032. My experience in comparing with Andrew Skeoch's MKH20
SASS rig is that the MKH20 are a quieter mic. Walt Knapp's comparisons of the
AT3032 and MKH20 in SASS rigs seems to indicate the same thing, and I feel this
sets the lower limit for the AT3032 at around 11dB self noise.
A side by side comparison of AT3032 and AT4022 would be something I'd be very
interested to hear.
cheers
