With that level of sensitivity, perhaps no preamp at all is needed with the bitx ?series.
Available for three dollars at digikey.?
Thanks for pointing it out and giving that educational lecture!

Yes, you have it right.
For a given sound pressure into the mike,
the -24 dB mike creates a voltage that is 10 times bigger than the -44 dB mike.
A 10 times bigger voltage into a fixed resistance means 100 times more power,
since power in watts = volts * amps =? ?volts * volts/ohms.
With 100 times more power, that's 10 * log(100) = 20 dB more power.
If the mike were zero dB, we'd get 1 volt from the mike.
Since the voltages we are dealing with are less than one volt,?
we get negative numbers when representing the values in dB.

So, would - 24db be 20db more sensitive than - 44db?
. . .
?
0 dB = 1 volt per Pascal
-24dB = .0.063 V/Pa
-44 db = 0.0063 V/Pa
