vs 16 clip-on condensers
More output than 100% of 16 clip-on condensers.
Each stripe is one clip-on condenser with a published sensitivity, and each bar counts them; further right means more output. This mic is in blue.
vs 14 clip-on condensers
Quieter than 100% of 14 clip-on condensers.
Each stripe is one clip-on condenser with a published self-noise, and each bar counts them; further right means quieter. This mic is in blue.
vs 16 clip-on condensers
Takes louder sound than 0% of 16 clip-on condensers.
Each stripe is one clip-on 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. 1.
Titled "Frequency Response (1/12th oct smoothing)"; y axis "SPL (dB)", 0 dB near 1 kHz. Distance, anechoic or not and typical-vs-individual are not stated. Drawn from 50 Hz to 20 kHz.
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. 1.
Two halves: 125 Hz to 1 kHz on the left, 2 to 16 kHz on the right; 0° at the top, 5 dB per ring, down to -25 dB at the centre. Measuring conditions not stated.
