Some Pleiades gentle low cut filters for omni microphones


Omnidirectional microphone do not have a proximity effect of bass boost.


So naturally they would need a lees strong Pleiades filter.


Inductance can be greater.


Examples:


UHER M640
sounds very nice on male vocals with a
Pleiades (610Ω,140mH)
Higher values of inductance like 200mH sound nice too


AKG D130
High output mic as this is a large diaphragm.
A suitable Pleiades (R,L) gentle slope LC filter:
Pleiades (310Ω,140mH) or higher R
It can remove that muddy bass emphasis when singing and the mic can sound amazing.
When speaking a filter might not be needed.


signal path:


Male singing Creep - Radiohead - omnidirectional mic - Pleiades (R,L) filter - Sony TC-D5 Pro - Sennheiser HD 580 - listener's (singer's) brain
