Klas,

Yes, I noticed that - it's a horrendous figure if they mean excess
noise over thermal noise. You can add about 11dBs more on the A
weighting figure for 468 weighting which is the one used for noise,
but I tend not to believe some specs anyway. Like signal/noise ratios
without specifying what noise and what signal.
