I've been thinking that the sensitivity of PIP mics is constant with bias v=
oltage but that the maximum SPL before distortion varies--which is why conc=
ert tapers use 9V supplies, but nature recordists don't have to worry at 1V=
 or even less.

But I may be wrong. Or there's a difference between electret mics with FETs=
 and those with ICs?

Can the mic builders clarify this?
