Microphones : Frequency Response
Table of contents
Frequency Response
Like speakers, microphones add some flavour to the sound by boosting or cutting certain frequencies.
This is due to resonance and resonant frequencies of the microphone - certain frequencies that
are naturally reinforced or suppressed by the acoustic properties of the microphone.
We often use equalizers to adjust the shape of the frequency response of a mic to get the sound
we like. This can be acheived by selecting a microphone that has a natural shape similar to the
sound we are after. In fact if you take a microphone with a flat frequency response graph and
run it through a graphic eq, set the eq so it looks like the graph below, you are imitating the
sound of the Studio Projects B3
condenser mic.
