Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal Profile

Battery-free supercardioid that draws plug-in power from the 3.5 mm socket. No converter, no switches, no self-noise figure published - only a 79 dB signal-to-noise ratio.

Gain Staging Advice

RØDE prints signal-to-noise but not equivalent noise level for this one, so the self-noise field stays empty rather than being back-calculated. The 2.6 kohm source wants an input of 26 kohm or more to keep its level.
