Why low cut filters got a bad name


Understandably many engineers can be seen in forums not liking them.


The reason why may be just this. They do what their name is. They low cut.


Pleiades filters are not made to low cut below a certain frequency. They are made to assist on the ideal of flat frequency response from producer's brain to listener's brain.


Low cut filters can be found that are 12dB or more per octave.


Pleiades filters are much less. 6dB per octave or even less if a reries resistor is connected to the coil or inductor. So much higher turnover freiencies can be used with very gentle slope.


See for example the previous post on Sennheiser MD441 U3 and Pleiadss V6 Nuvistor.
