I think you will find that most people will say 5-8 dB down depending on the meter its being compared to.

The new Term-lab is possibly more accurate but definitely more consistent. You will make the same numbers week in and week out unless you change something (previous set-ups were a little random). This way you dont have 'records' based on optimistic microphones

the drop is supposed to be 6db if the old mic is set right. i've seen anywhere from 3-10 drop tho.
