Yes, right, Raimund. There might be "border-line" cases.
At your site you say:
"Consequently, there is no relevant noise added by virtually any
professional recorder as long as a sufficiently sensitive (hot)
microphone is being used. However, a less sensitive microphone (e.g.
a dynamic microphone having a sensitivity below 2 mV/Pa) would be
more demanding."
Which is what I try to remind people about.
Question: Why does the LS-11 perform the lowest noise level at the
"low" setting?? Or doesn=B4t it?
With the Clip-On's I can record either at "high" and "2- 2,5" on the
wheel or "low" and "10" on the wheel. Both settings give about the
same margin to unexpected sounds.
Which is the best recommendation that I can give customers and why?
High or low? How big is the noise difference?
