> the major benefit of the digital mics is they have a much lower noise floor.
?? I don't see that in Schoeps' specifications; rather, I seem to see the opposite.
- CMD 2U with MK 2S: 27 dB equivalent noise (CCIR weighting, quasi-peak)
- CMC 6 with same capsule: 24 dB equivalent noise, same measurement conditions.
The A-weighted numbers are 10 - 12 dB lower as usual (and fairly meaningless as usual).
