Default Lacking highs in recording?

Hm, maybe. I really liked the idea of the Fig.-8, as suggested by Ty and
others.


So keep in mind that the frequency response of a directional mics is only
perfect on axis. As I don't own a fig-8-mic I don't know how much the high
end is dropped close to the nulls. The frequency plot published by the
manufacturer (hopefully) consists of two plots: one being the frequency
response on axis and the other plot should be a set of concentric circles
for an omni or a set of concentric 8s in your case. Each 8 describes the
response at a specified frequency depending on the angle. The higher the
frequency the more distorted is the figure 8.

Have you had a look at the frequency plots of your mic?
