I could refer you back to Prof Angelo Farina’s input on the subject. He confirmed the 3dB increase in noise per order.
Just out of interest - who designed your encoder? The increase in signal level was when you add two back to back cardioids was also confirmed by someone whose opinion I suspect you would trust even more than Angelo. Perhaps Prof Farina will chime in with his opinion. The link you posted doesn’t lead anywhere useful by the way, it just takes you to a particular Facebook group.
