Comparing mic noise

What you want is a specification that says something like "Self-noise:
-72 dBu (or 0.2 mV). But that's too simple and honest.
There is in fact a push on the part of the AES standards committee SC-04-04
to actually create such a specification with a standard measurement method
that would allow consistency between vendors. AT is one of those vendors,
and their microphones among others were passed around the group comparing
measurements.
So, it IS possible that someday soon we'll have a standardized method that
can be used for comparison.
In the meantime, if you want a quiet mike, try the MKH-20.
