An approach to compensating the proximity effect


Firstly using a good quality omnidirectional microphone. Connecting to it the right inductor in series with resistor (Pleiades RL filter) until flat frequency response from producer's brain to listener's brain is approached. (Even a flat omni mic may sound bass heavy due to equal loudness curves and voice effort curves.


Then using a directional mic of the same impedance connected to said Pleiades RL filter.


Then adjusting mouth mic distance or inserting a further parallel inductor (Pleiades L filter) for given distance until the result is flat from producer's brain to listener's brain.


Will it work?
