Apples and Oranges.
The Astatic D104 uses a crystal element (Hi-Z), while the Shure 44 uses a
dynamic element (Lo-Z). The response curve (sensitivity to specific audio
frequencies from 100 Hz to over 7,000 Hz) of a specific microphone element
makes a BIG difference in reproduction of the human voice.
