Frequency responseiPublished acoustic range of the microphone. A sample rate does not establish it.

Min20 HzMax20 kHz1Maker product pagepresonus.com/products/pd-70-broadcast-dynamic-microphoneRead 15 October 2026Specs: Microphone Frequency Response 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The launch press release says 50 Hz to 20 kHz, see the press source. The page and the manual agree on 20 Hz.2Owner's manualfmicassets.com/Damroot/Original/10058/OM_2777300103_PD-70_11112023_EN.pdfRead 15 October 2026Technical Specifications: Frequency Response 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Min50 HzMax13 kHz2Maker spec sheet (PDF)edge.rode.com/pdf/products/108/PodMic_Datasheet_FA.pdfRead 15 October 2026Frequency Range: 50Hz ~13 kHz. The older datasheet (May 2023, linked from rode.com) and the spec tab of the rode.com page say 50Hz - 15kHz. The newer sheet is stored. The frequency chart in both sheets falls steeply at about 15 kHz.

Sensitivity (analog)iAnalog output level for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz, as published in dBV. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A value published only in mV/Pa is converted as 20 x log10(mV/Pa / 1000) and rounded to one decimal, so 1.6 mV/Pa is -55.9 dBV/Pa. The printed value goes in the source note. A sensitivity in plain dB with no reference, as many low-cost USB microphones print it, is left out.

-55.9dBV/Pa2Owner's manualfmicassets.com/Damroot/Original/10058/OM_2777300103_PD-70_11112023_EN.pdfRead 15 October 2026Technical Specifications: Sensitivity 1.6mV/Pa, with no dBV value. Converted as 20 x log10(0.0016) = -55.92 dBV/Pa and rounded to -55.9. The test frequency is not printed.

-57dBV/Pa2Maker spec sheet (PDF)edge.rode.com/pdf/products/108/PodMic_Datasheet_FA.pdfRead 15 October 2026Sensitivity: -57.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz. The sheet adds 1.60mV @ 94 dB SPL, which would be -55.9 dBV. The older sheet and the rode.com spec tab print -57dBV (1.4mV @ 94dB SPL). The dB value is the same in all three.3Maker spec sheet (PDF)edge.rode.com/pdf/products/108/PodMic_Datasheet_07_FA.pdfRead 15 October 2026Older datasheet: -57dBV (1.4mV @ 94dB SPL) +/- 2dB @1kHz.

Sensitivity (digital)iDigital output level over USB for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz. The minimum gain value is used when several are given. The gain setting goes in the source note. On a USB-only microphone use this field only when the maker prints dBFS or ties a dBV value to the USB output, as Shure does for the MV7i. A dBV, dB re 1 V/Pa or mV/Pa value that names no USB output is left out. The printed unit and the gain go in the source note. A value printed for another reference level is converted by the level difference, so -40 dBFS at 80 dB SPL is -26 dBFS at 94 dB SPL. The printed value goes in the source note.

Not available

Not available

Max SPLiHighest sound pressure level at the source's distortion limit. The THD level and output path go in the source note. The value without a clipping protection mode such as Clipguard is used when both are given. The value with the pad off is used. When the maker lists several preamp loads, the highest load is used. The load goes in the source note. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for sensitivity.

135dB SPL4Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B08JPJVJ6VRead 15 October 2026The From the manufacturer comparison table on the Amazon US page, which PreSonus supplies, lists the PD-70 as Dynamic, Cardioid, 20 Hz to 20 kHz and Max SPL 135 dB. No distortion level is printed. PreSonus' own page prints no max SPL.

Not available

Max SPL distortion limitiThe distortion level at which the maker states the max SPL, e.g. 1, 3 or 10 % THD. Left out when the maker names none. Max SPL figures compare only at the same limit.

Not available

Self-noiseiEquivalent noise level, A-weighted, in dB SPL. Lower is quieter. The analog value is used when analog and digital values are both given. A value in dBV or dBFS is left out. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for max SPL.

Not available

Digital noise flooriDigital noise floor of a USB microphone as printed, usually A-weighted over 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Lower is quieter. Processing that was on during the test goes in the source note. It is not self-noise.

Output impedanceiRated impedance of the XLR output. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A USB-only microphone has no value here, even when the maker prints an impedance for the capsule. When the maker prints a rated and an actual impedance, as Shure does for the SM58, the rated value is stored and the actual one goes in the source note.

Onboard controlsiFunctions you can change on the microphone itself, by knob, button, switch or touch. Settings that exist only in the app do not count. A switch that sets preamp gain steps, such as +18 or +28 dB, counts as gain. Echo is a knob or button for an echo or reverb effect.

Not available

Onboard processingiProcessing inside the microphone, analog or digital, that works without the maker's app running. A maker statement that settings are saved in the microphone counts. Effects that run only in the app on the computer do not count. An expander counts as noise gate. Clip protection such as Clipguard is clip protection. Limiter is only for a limiter the maker lists as its own effect, never both for one feature. Brand names such as APHEX or Clipguard go in the source note. Attenuation pad is a switch that lowers the capsule output, such as -15 dB. Echo is an echo or reverb effect in the microphone. Exciter or bass enhancer covers effects that add harmonics or bass, such as APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.

Width is left to right as seen by the speaker, height is bottom to top in normal use and depth is front to back. Orient the microphone as in use on its yoke or stand. Depth is the direction it points at the speaker, height is up and width is across. An upright side-address microphone has its length as height. An end-address microphone has its length as depth, also when it is held in the hand. A round microphone with only a length and a diameter uses the diameter for the other two sides.
