I´ll run the mic-preamp-test aiming -12db peaks in about 9 hours.
-R-09HR: sp-cmc-8/12V bbox/mic-in/low-sens
-RH1: sp-cmc-8/12V bbox/mic-in/low-sens
I´ll record 30 seconds speech from TV and 30 seconds silence at the same gain setting, which resulted in -12db peaks for speech.
more to come in about 9 hours....
here it comes:
source for both samples: 30 seconds speech from TV and 30 seconds silence in my living room(of course both samples recorded at the same TV-volume setting and the same part of a recorded documenatary from my dvd-recorder)
sample 1: 16bit 44,1kHz
RH1: sp-cmc-8 cardioids=>12V bbox=>mic-in(low-sens setting)=>internal gain 16 of 30 for peaking at -12db

R-09HR: sp-cmc-8 cardioids=>12V bbox=>mic-in(low-sens setting)=>internal gain 60 of 80 for peaking at -12db
http://www.file-upload.net/download-1058166/R09HR_mic_in_low_sens_gain-60-of-80_peak--12db.WAV.htmlYou see I needed more gain on the R-09HR for reaching -12db on the levelmeter as it´s mic-in is less sensitive and doesn´t clip at high SPL compared to the RH1 input when fed with an unattenuated mic´s signal at high SPLs => i.e. amplified rock concert.
RH1 gain was 16 of 30=>53,3% of max. gain.
R-09HR gain was 60 of 80=>75% of max. gain
You can here the clicking of a clock(2m behind the mics) in the silent part.
waiting for digifish´ analysis
.........guess he´s still sleeping right now if he lives on the westcoast
