vs 75 end-address condensers
More output than 8% of 75 end-address condensers.
Each stripe is one end-address condenser with a published sensitivity, and each bar counts them; further right means more output. This mic is in blue.
vs 104 end-address condensers
Quieter than 1% of 104 end-address condensers.
Each stripe is one end-address condenser with a published self-noise, and each bar counts them; further right means quieter. This mic is in blue.
vs 110 end-address condensers
Takes louder sound than 38% of 110 end-address condensers.
Each stripe is one end-address condenser with a published max SPL, and each bar counts them; further right means it takes louder sound. This mic is in blue.
Proximity effect: the bass it gains up close
From the spec sheet, p. 2.
Titled "Frequency Response"; relative dB, 0 dB labelled; "AVERAGE RESPONSE" (solid) and "High Pass Filter" (dotted). Distance, room and smoothing not stated.
Dashed: outside the rated range, or simulated (other angles and distances). Hover or tap the graphs for values.
Polar pattern
From the spec sheet, p. 2. Approximate
Titled "Polar Response", one frequency ("@1kHz"), full circle; rings labelled -5 to -20 dB, centre -25 dB. Measuring conditions not stated.
Approximate: reading error up to about 1 dB.
