ng, this =0D
 has to be an "equivalent self noise" in other words the acoustic noise lev=
el =0D
 in Phons which would give the same noise level as the mic itself, in other=
 =0D
 words a sound which would raise the total mic noise level by 3dB." =0D

I don't quite understand. Since when are noise specs given in Phons?  Aren'=
t they usually described in units of dBA?  Let's just go with what is most =
common - it is all relative isn't it.=0D
