Kommentar des Toningenieurs

Tonal Profile

A true condenser pencil made in Heilbronn: cardioid, -15 dB pad, 250 Hz low cut. beyerdynamic keeps the numbers out of the product card entirely - they live only in the A5 PDF linked from the SPEC SHEET block.

Gain Staging Advice

30 mV/Pa (-30.5 dBV/Pa) is loud for a small diaphragm - about 6 dB above an Austrian Audio CC8 - and that is the microphone's real selling point on a quiet source. Max SPL is only 124 dB without the pad, though, so an overhead over a loud kit wants the -15 dB in.

Was im Datenblatt tatsächlich steht

Wörtlich von der Herstellerseite zitiert, mit dem Datum der Prüfung. Wir behaupten das Gedruckte, nicht die Absicht dahinter.

Einheit nicht genannt
«Signal-to-noise ratio rel. to 1 Pa 71 dB / A-weighted equivalent SPL 16 dB»

The two noise rows of the same spec sheet do not reduce to each other. 1 Pa is 94 dB SPL, so 94 − 71 = 23 dB, not the 16 dB printed in the row below; the signal-to-noise row names no weighting while the row below names A-weighting explicitly. The MC 950 sheet repeats the pattern with the same 7 dB gap (72 dB against 15 dB). Read as a pair, the rows say the S/N figure is unweighted - but neither sheet says so.
