[1] 1 Pa=94 dB SPL
[2] THD of microphone preamplifier 

when applied input signal level is 

equivalent to cartridge output at 

specified SPL
[3] S/N ratio is the difference be-

tween 94 dB SPL and equivalent 

SPL of self noise, A-weighted
[4] All specifications measured 

with a 48 Vdc phantom power sup-

ply. The microphone operates at 

lower voltages, but with slightly de-

creased headroom and sensitivity.
