Note: I use this mic at my desk for recording "scratch" stuff and for meetings and daily work. Its intended purpose is nothing special, but I am on an Antelope Zen Go interface, so using an edge solo ads some benefit, if it doesn't degrade the sound quality.
I am looking at an Antelope Audio Edge solo and the specs on it are as follows:
Freq. response: 20HZ ~ 20kHZ
Self-noise: 19dB(A) S
NR: 75dB(A)
Sensitivity: -35dB | 18mV/Pa (-1 to +3dB)
THD+N: -116dB
Self noise is not great but I don't know how to interpret that sensitvity reading since I am used to seeing these more like -35db | 1mV/Pa
Its math right, but not sure how to convert that to 1mV/Pa reference or if I need to, comparing it to another mics sensitivity (Shure sm27) given as
Sensitivity. at 1kHz,open circuit voltage. -37 dBV/Pa[1] Self Noise 9.5dB - good noise floor
Would appreciate help understanding which mic is actually more sensitive. On the portable interface I use the sm27 on, I'm needing to go up considerably on the gain for a level I want. If the Antelope would require less gain for same distance, I'd be inclined to give it a whirl, modeling or not.
