An amazing microphone.
The good thing about it is that it is flat.
So once the low mid mud from the proximity effect is out with a Pleiades filter, one is not left with 7KHz etc peaks exposed.
With singing tests, very low shunt Pleiades Low Cut filter inductance was found suitable. L of as small as 30mH and even less (1 KHz cutoff and even more) did a great job at removing the proximity effect at < 1in. This is to be expected if one sees the frequency response of directional microphones start rising below 1KHz at a very small distance.
Set up:
AKG D190 - Pleiades filter 983Hz - Pleiades V5 - Realistic disco mixer mic in - HD580
The Pleiades 983Hz was made of 53.5mH in // with 82mH. The input inductance of V5 (the inductance of the primary of its input transformer) 47mH. So effectively the mic was loaded by 82mH // 53.5mH // 47mH. This makes a total inductance of less than 30mH ie a cutoff of more than 1KHz. (These calculations assume a 200 Ohm microphone output impedance).
