The limiting factor here is not the capsule but the microphone amplifier: its overload point ranges from 128 to 135 dB-SPL (max. SPL, 0.5 % THD), depending on the capsule and the amplifier type, and is 5 dB lower with the \"+5 dB\" versions. In these situations the PAD is inserted between the capsule and the microphone amplifier or an active accessory, and attenuates the signal level at the amplifier input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe PAD is passive and has only two contacts, at the top and bottom. It comes as the \u003cstrong\u003ePAD 10 C\u003c\/strong\u003e (about 10 dB) and the \u003cstrong\u003ePAD 20 C\u003c\/strong\u003e (about 20 dB). Because of its capacitive principle of operation, two PAD 10 C on one microphone give about 15 dB, so the PAD 20 C is the choice for a full 20 dB. Until 2025 the product was named DZC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0
