how high is a snare drum's peak SPL?
hello sound peeps,
in my quest for a better sounding close snare mic, i'm gonna give a josephson c42 a try. a 57 is not giving me what i want. i emailed josephson asking if i should get the c42H high level version instead of the standard one, and they suggested trying the standard first, as the high level version is a lot noisier, thus reducing it's usefulness on quieter sources. how high do snare drum peaks get, worst case SPL with the mic within 3-5 inches? say a 300 pound drummer with 2B sticks hammering a loud brass shell snare, hitting a rimshot. the standard c42 clips at 135 dB SPL. the c42H can do 155! thanks.
