the 4060 is a high sensitivity mic
while the 4061 is a low sensitivity mic.
does this mean that the 4060 can handle higher sound levels before distorting while
the 61 doesn't do as well in those situations?ß

other way around...

gotcha. thanks!!

FWIW, I put my 4060's to the test at the first Mr. Crowes Garden show earlier this year. I had them HRTF, and was about 6 rows back from the stage. I'm not sure since I had my hearing aids turned off, but it had to be ~115-120 db for most of the show. Ran 4060>Nuemann BS48i-2 Power Supply>Gmini400. Recording came out really nice with no distortion or clipping at all. YMMV

As a fellow hearing aid user, I implore you to purchase and use earplugs at concerts.
