vs 99 side-address condensers
Quieter than 5% of 99 side-address condensers.
Each stripe is one side-address condenser with a published self-noise, and each bar counts them; further right means quieter. This mic is in blue.
vs 107 side-address condensers
Takes louder sound than 24% of 107 side-address condensers.
Each stripe is one side-address condenser with a published max SPL, and each bar counts them; further right means it takes louder sound. This mic is in blue.

| Sensitivity | −36.5 dBV/Pa (15 mV/Pa)Not stated by the manufacturer: Converted from "15mV/Pa" (20 log10 0.015 = -36.5). The 2007 sheet states "-36.5db, odrs=1 V/pa". | |
| Self-noise | 20 dB(A)A-weighted, IEC 268-4. "Equivalent Noise Level: 20 dB (A-weighted IEC 268-4)". | |
| Max SPL | 130 dB SPL0.5% THD. "Max SPL for .5% THD: 130 dB". | |
| Output impedance | 200 ohm"Impedance: 200 ohms"; the 2007 sheet says "Output impedance". | |
| Rated frequency range | 30 Hz to 20 kHz"Frequency Response: 30 Hz – 20 kHz". The same in the 2007 sheet. | |
| Powering | phantom 48 V ±4 V"phantom power at 48 volts, +/- 4 volts". | |
| Weight | 395 galso 470, 2007 sheet. "395g / 1.3 lbs" (1.3 lb is 590 g, so the two figures disagree). The 2007 sheet gives "470 g". | |
| Dimensions | 51 × 182 mmalso [55, 190], 2007 sheet. "51 mm x 182 mm / 1.85 in. x 7.24 in."; not said which is which (diameter × length, presumably; 1.85 in. is 47 mm). The 2007 sheet gives "55mm x 190 mm". | |
| Finish | green with gold grille"Metal Finish: Green with gold grill"; the 2007 sheet: "Green Body / Gold Grill". | |
| Supplied accessories | MT-001 mic stand adapter"Contents". The product page lists "MXLMT001 Hard Mount" and "MXLPOUCH03 – Microphone Carrying Pouch"; the 2007 sheet mentions an optional MXL57 shock mount and an included zipper pouch. | |
