Default Comparing mic noise

Still, couldn't an experienced individual give me some idea, given these
incompatible statistics, what level of noise I might notice from one to
the other.

The one pair is Rode NT1-A, and the other is an Audio-Technica AT8010.


** The AT8010 has a noise spec of " 70dB, 1kHz at 1 Pa"

1 Pascal = 94dB SPL.

So the self noise of the AT is 24dB at 1kHz.

Pretty poor, even for an electret mic.
