[QUOTE="Jason Glass, post: 65109, member: 2167"] Re: Shure Beta 87 A or C... Hi Craig, That graph perfectly demonstrates that many properties other than frequency response determine how a mic will perform; whether or not it sounds pleasing to the ear; and why different sources sound "better" or "worse" through different mics with apparently identical specs. One could postulate that a mic's damping and resonance characteristics throughout its frequency range are more relevant to the mic's "character" than the response curve alone. Damping and resonance alter the wave[I]form[/I], as well as wave amplitude. The problem is that it's difficult to quantify the effect and show it as an easy to read graph, just as it's hard to describe why our ears enjoy the sound of mic A over mic B without getting too esoteric.
