Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal profile

Cardioid stage vocal dynamic, 40 Hz to 16 kHz, with a response deliberately kept stable as the singer moves toward or away from the capsule.

Gain staging

2.7 mV/Pa converts to -51.4 dBV/Pa - the loudest dynamic in this batch. Note the nominal impedance of 350 ohms and the specified minimum load of 1 kohm: an input below that will cost level and low end, which is exactly the case with cheap 600-ohm inputs.

Setups using this gear

Radial McBoost with a Sennheiser e 835: one of its three load settings is below the microphone's published minimum
