Hi Peter,=0D

The noise performance of the EM172 depends on both the pip voltage and the =
input impedance of the recorder, there is discussion of this in the micbuil=
ders yahoo group, this graph in particular is most interesting, I am not su=
re of its origin but someone has done a lot of work on it.=0D

I've heard mentioned that some recorders, including the M10, can't supply =
enough voltage to two pairs of EM-172s, which leads to at least some reduct=
ion in this benefit. I don't know how much of the benefit is lost. I'm usin=
g an M10 with two pairs of capsules in a similar array to Vicki's on the ca=
perteebirder site, but I haven't got around to comparing it with a single p=
air. It sounds ok to me. =0D

Perhaps someone who understands it better could elaborate on the effects o=
f the voltage drop? =0D

One gets a 6 dB signal gain from the adding the output of the two capsules=
together, but the capsule self-noise which is uncorrelated will only incre=
ase by 3 dB. So the net result is a signal to noise gain of about 3 dB for =
a two-capsule vs. one-capsule mic channel. =0D

I was looking at the capertreebirder site and see the em-172 mics wired to=
gether in pairs =0D
for the SASS-lite and was wondering why? Thanks. =0D
