i noticed that the rca 44 mic goes up to about 10k. correct? not sure how
low it goes. and it is regarded as one of the great sounding classic mics. i
had read that les paul loved this on guitar and this makes alot of sense.
however i'm wondering about this type of curve on a variety of other
instruments.

there are also some very inexpensive electrets that have a similar curve...
i am not talking about quality of sound just the basic curves

what is the difference in sound between electret and condensor microphones?

can you approximate the curves of these mics with a high and low pass
filter?

ive been noticing recently that there are some situations that i like a
limited freq range... dumbing it down seems to be working

does anyone here intentionally use really cheap mics with high end preamps
to attain a sound, or vice versa high quality mics with intentionally low
quality preamps
