Hello,

I was looking at a mic spec for a hypercardioid mic (the Sterling
Audio ST-31). It only has 5 mv/pa output. That seems too low. Do
hypercardioids have less mv/pa? Because the company has similar
products with much higher outputs (higher than 20mv/pa) when they are
cardioids.

I'm wondering what the disadvantage is to such a low output. If you
are trying to capture sound from 10 feet away, it seems like you would
want a mic with more output.
