Gain staging
Valve condenser with its own mains power supply. Do not switch +48 V on for it. Sensitivity is the manual's −38 dBV/Pa.
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.
The maker’s own documents disagree
«Sensitivity: -38dB re 1V/Pa @ 1kHz (25mV/Pa @ 94dB SPL) ±2dB @ 1kHz»
−38 dBV is about 12.6 mV, not 25 mV. An older RØDE datasheet prints the same −38 dB with 12 mV. The catalogue stores −38 dBV and does not store 25 mV.
