Default pressure buildup rings on Sennheiser mics

was interesting...

this mic, that many consider to be an excellent mic, has +6dB boost
at 10 kHz


If you're talking about the M-50.... that's +6dB on axis, but it falls
way off once you get off axis. Consequently when you pull it back into
the far field, the _overall_ far field response mixing up sounds from all
directions is about flat.

I'm no fan of the M-50, but it's a useful tool for some things. It's an
omni that's designed not to be omni at all at high frequencies. It gives
you the low frequency response of an omni capsule while still retaining
directionality to create stereo imaging.
