4. All the GkTB equations we were forced to memorize in school are useful at
RF but not useful in a mismatched low frequency world.


** False. Johnson noise is dominant in any resistive source situation.


Resistive source? An SM-57?


** Run an impedance test yourself.

From a few hundred Hz up to 15kHz, it is nearly flat.

There is a broad peak around 120Hz IIRC.

Essentially a 270 ohm source.

The internal auto-tranny just ups the value by a factor of 20 from the 13 ohms capsule.

Reason why makers use a simple resistor for pre-amp specifications.

And the type does not matter !!

I think maybe this is where one of the problems
is located.
