The directional microphone proximity effect does not noly exagerate bass, but mid bass, mid frequencies too

At your risk. Is this why many Hellenic vocal song recordings, both male and female sound so differnt from those made abroad? Are the mics here used too close and uncorrected for bass, mid emphasis? This again became very apparent while listening very early morning, LOVE FM radio station in Athens which plays both types of songs. the difference became very apparent on the Sony ICF-7600A radio with the tiny mid, treble speaker. Curves for bass, mid proximity emphasis can be seen on the Neumann, Microphones book by Bore, Peus.
