In a situation like standing at the right hand of the Pope during Christmas Mass.... well I guess that little dip of the lever to turn on the meter might get noticed. I've not heard that particular 'click' myself (could it be my CL is BROKEN?) oh sht Nope; went and tested it (purely subjectively) and it is not 'clicking' when I move the lever to turn on the meter (maybe because I've got a TA soft touch installed?) Set it down next to the M6HM, fired both off one after the other- it's so damn close in db I'd have to call it a tie. [If required I'll take out my SPL and B&K mic to measure exact amplitude; but to this trained ear I think it's about the same, if not leaning a little in favor of the CL because it has less physical area to act as a sounding board through mechanical coupling.] It might be like splitting hairs on a gnats ass though??
