Klas, Raimund, and others:
Could the variability in sensitivity between Telinga SSM microphones be a f=
actor?
Variably between stock EM172 capsules sensitivity(+ or - 3dB) would certain=
ly exhibit noticeable differences in the range of recorder EIN we are talki=
ng about.
Also, could stated em172 variability in impedance (+ or - 30%)play any role=
in noise differences between different setups? I don't know anything about=
that.
