Sensitivity (typical, at 1000 Hz;	–37 dBV/Pa
1 Pa = 94 dB SPL)
Self–noise (typical, equivalent SPL;	14 dB
A-weighted, IEC 651)
Maximum SPL at 1 kHz	145 (160, 170) dB
5000 Ω load (Attenuator on)
2500 Ω load (Attenuator on)	139 (154, 164) dB
1000 Ω load (Attenuator on)	134 (149, 159) dB
Output Clipping Level*	15 dBV
5000 Ω load
2500 Ω load	9 dBV
1000 Ω load	3 dBV

5000 Ω load
2500 Ω load	125 dB
1000 Ω load	120 dB
Signal to Noise Ratio**	80 dB

*20 Hz to 20 kHz; THD < 1%. THD of the microphone preamplifier when applied input signal is equivalent to the cartridge output at specified SPL

**S/N ratio is difference between 94 dB SPL and equivalent SPL of self-noise A-weighted.
