Do bear in mind though that the signal levels involved in mics are

While that is a good guide, it;s not a general rule. Many condenser mics
will put out a pretty respectable line-level signal if you provide a
very loud acoustical source.

Ah. What you *really* need is a U77. Damn near zero level on speech - and
can use an internal PP3 battery.

Embarrassment on some desks - bashes the front end into the middle of next
