Im using Beyerdynamic TG-X-80's the noise is lower than the D50's internal =
mics and noise tone more pleasing than low noise 10mm electrets by Primo. T=
he TGX80 has since been replaced by the TGV70d so they maybe discounting th=
em in music stores.
Sensitivity is a whopping 3.2mV/PA, Nominal impedance 280 Ohm.
My other dynamics (Audix i5, OM2) are < 1.6mV and are quite noisy in compar=
ison.
Probably doesn't make sense with recorders having more noise than the D50.=
Anyone want a ticking clock test under anechoic conditions ?
Im looking forward to a decent thunderstorm to test them.
