Dialogue equalization and Pleiades (R,L) microphone filters


Referring to this paper:
http://www.aes.org/aeshc/pdf/hilliard_a-brief-history-of-early-motion-picture-sound.pdf


It is clearly seen on page 276 Fig.3 the importance of gentle slope bass reduction below 1KHz for flat frequency response from producer's brain to listener's brain.


Similar principles apply to vocal recording.


An inline XLR Pleiades (R,L) filter consists of just a resistor and inductor in series placed in parallel with pins 2,3 of microphone. The first prototype had been made inside Neutrik XLR modules and has a blue color stripe in the centre.
