Expert Audio Engineering Commentary
Gain Staging Advice
Maximum mic input is +10 dBu and there is no pad in the mic path, so a condenser close to a loud source has to be attenuated at the microphone. The line input takes +21 dBu and is the right entry point for anything already amplified.
What the datasheet actually says
Quoted verbatim from the manufacturer’s own page, with the date we checked it. We state what is printed, not what anyone intended by it.
««Mic EIN noise: 127 dBu unweighted, 22 Hz to 22 kHz» … «Noise: >95 dBu, unweighted, 22 Hz to 22 kHz»»
Equivalent input noise is a level below the reference, so as printed — 127 dBu, with no minus sign — the figure would mean roughly 1.4 kilovolts of noise at the input. The intended value is -127 dBu. The same table prints the system noise floor as ">95 dBu", which read literally says the quieter the worse. Both are sign conventions dropped in typesetting, and both make the numbers uncomparable to a manufacturer who prints the minus.
