we have 7 x 8020, and some 8040 and 8050s.
its true, that they seem that have a different noise in the ultrasonic rang=
e.
the thing is, that if you record stuff that is very subtle or low, like amb=
ience recordings, you will have the noise there.
but if you record sound effects, or city ambiences for example, you will ha=
ve such a good level of sound that you don=B4t have a problem with the hiss=
in the ultrasonic range.
even when recordings cicadas you will not have problems there, if they are =
loud enough..
we usually pitch things down, so we are aware of this fact.
