The Rational Acoustics RTA 420 microphone (listed on our store here) is Pin 3 hot. This means that the polarity of the microphone is reversed compared to other microphone standards.
If you are using a single microphone, this should not cause any differences in your measurement.
However, if you will be comparing a microphone that is not pin 3 hot to the RTA 420, this is something to be aware of and you will need to make adjustments accordingly.
