Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal Profile

The original MiCon-terminated lavalier: the capsule is sold with a swappable connector rather than a fixed plug, which is why the same numbers turn up under three different product names.

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.

One figure, several models
«Sensitivity: -33.5dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (21.00mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz»

This row is quoted from the PinMic page, not the Lavalier page: the two products publish identical acoustic and electrical tables field for field - same 3000 ohm output, same 110 dB SPL maximum, same 189.0 mV maximum output, same 25 dBA self-noise, same sensitivity. RodeLink Lav publishes the same sensitivity and impedance again, but with 27 dBA instead of 25 dBA.
