   The Rode NT1-A lists an "Equivalent Noise Level" of 5 dBA.   
      
   So I can look at that figure, and compare it to other mics.   
   But then I thought, what about sensitivity?  If the noise   
   figure measures the raw noise level coming into the preamp,   
   then a high sensitivity mic would have a larger signal to   
   noise ratio, making the self noise figure meaningless on   
   its own.  Or does the noise figure take that into account   
   somehow?
