Sebatron vmp-2000 or Great River 2NV? and mics

Forums

I'm searching for a high quality first mic preamp. I've gone back and forth after reading tons of articles/reviews on various pres and getting recommendations from other similar sites.

Micing a Choir

Forums

Approaching limit of usable mic sensitivity ?

Forums

- Put this one on techTalk but since it's more mic-related I better put it here -

The short version:

What do you think is the lower limit for mic
sensitivity ?
Typical is around the order of magnitude of 2 mV/Pa
but how much lower can you go and still be able
to bring this tiny signal up to strength with a
mic preamp ?
