You know what, I can't find the specs anywhere but I listened to this mic a=
 long time ago and when the ST450 came out I thought it was considerably qu=
ieter than the ST350, The B format signal is a huge asset. This mic will ne=
ver be as quiet as a Schoeps or Sennheiser capsules, but I=92m not looking =
for that. In terms of a flexible and very good surround mic it=92s unique a=
nd much better to work with than MSM. The quality, space and flexibility of=
 the B format signal is awesome and beats anything I have ever heard. I thi=
nk it=92s all to do with the absence of any phase errors which any spaced c=
apsule system suffers from.
