156 g (5.5  oz.)

[1] 1 Pa=94 dB SPL

[2]THD of microphone preamplifier when applied input 

signal level is equivalent to cartridge output at speci-

fied SPL

[3]S/N ratio is the difference between 94 dB SPL and 

equivalent SPL of self noise, A-weighted

[4]All specifications measured with a 48 Vdc phantom 

power supply. The microphone operates at lower 

voltages, but with slightly decreased headroom and 

sensitivity.
