Sencore (TerraSonde) offered a matrix switcher with 4 unlabeled mics that are also the same exact mic. I tend to use my ear when EQing in that area regardless of what mic I'm using. In fact they typically have a rise that peaks around 8-10KHz which might lead you to cut a bit in that range. Would you notice when EQing your PA, I doubt it. Would you notice this in a recording? Likely not. Above 5KHz is where they start to wander in response. They are pretty much flat up to about 5KHz (this goes for every mic I've mentioned in the post so far). I currently carry 6 of them for use with Smaart. They are similar in quality to the ECM8000, as is the Audix TR40 (but they do have that coolness factor). They are all pin 3 hot (not that it matters) The RTA-420 is the same mic as the dbx RTA-M and the Apex 220. I just wanted to clear up a few things about the SIA RTA-420 and maybe answer some other questions too. I was rooting around on my friend Google and came across this. I'd definately opt for the best mic you can afford.either way.Dennis that mic looks interesting. but with a 28 band sample that becomes a lot less of an issue if you knew what those specific frequencies were doing. I think, till Dennis pointed to this mic and I don't know enough about it to say if it's better.that the Audix TR40 was the least expensive mic I would consider for use with an FFT type measurement system like SMAART. then that negates the auto EQ in that region, and your top end becomes brighter than the flat response you requested. above 3k.the other caveat was that there was not a spec sheet and or that the published frequency plot was a 1 off and not duplicated from unit to unit.Now I realize that only the better mics are going to be lab tested and verified (which if you were going to really try and make critical measurements, should be a prerequisite) but if there was say a 10% reduction in the response above 2k. Everything I've read is that the mic tested ok~by those the PSW but the low end response was questionable, as well as the higher frequencies.
