"Don Pearce"


One more thing - the Neve mic pre has a pretty poor noise performance.
At -128dBu equivalent at the input, that is about 6dB above pure
thermal noise.


** Absolute bull****.

Thermal noise in a 20kHz BW and 150 ohms

= 0.22 uV or -130.9 dBu.


That is 4 or 5 dB more noise than they should be
achieving.


** Wrong, it is a little over 2 dB.

Get you calcs right - dickhead.

( You forgot to allow for the 0.775 volts bit. )


BTW

This is what Rupert has to say on the matter:

NOTE

his comments re 1000 to 1200 ohms input load being "normal".
