Expert Audio Engineering Commentary
Tonal profile
A large-diaphragm cardioid dynamic with an aluminium-copper voice coil, spring-mounted capsule and hum-bucking coil - the handheld Sennheiser built to sit above the e 945. 40 Hz to 20 kHz is an unusually wide claim for a moving coil and it shows as a light, extended top rather than the presence bump most stage dynamics carry.
Gain staging
This sheet is the model of how the number should be published: '1.8 mV/Pa' and '-54.9 dBV/Pa' printed on the same two lines, and they agree exactly. Nothing has to be guessed and nothing has to be converted.
