Re: Is this a good way to test pre-amp hiss of a digital recorder?


"Mike Rivers"

A short circuit at the input gives more consistent results when
comparing preamps. While the noise inherent in a 600 or 150 ohm
resistor isn't likely to corrupt your results, different preamps can
have different internal noise with different source resistances. A
short is a short is a short regardless of the input stage
configuration.

No mic is ever like a short - so such a test is fake.
