How to dramatically increase the palette of your mic sounds without paying a fortune


One may keep buying microphones for a change of mic character.


Or because most may sound bass heavy and nothing compared to what is heard on a produced song on the record or CD or YouTube.


Just connecting an inductor L in series with R and the resultant across the mic output may create an infinite variety of gentle high pass. Depending on the values of L, R an infinite combination. This is the Pleiades (R,L) filter can conveniently be built inside an XLR to XLR barrel adaptor. The inductor can be made of a would ring core small enough to fit inside. Neutrik XLR modules can be used to make the adaptor. A color painted stripe in the centre can be used to distiguish between sound colors of filter. The output from the mic becomes large as ine can approach very close yet without bass heaviness. Just sparkling treble depending on the sound quality of the mic and the voice.
