about frequency response
«

Hello
I'd like to buy some Giant Squids mics, I think I'm gonna for for cardioids, but I see this: 100 - 12,000 Hz frequency response
Whereas for the omni it's: 20 - 20,000 Hz frequency response
Is it very surprising ?
How much is it important for concert recordings ?
Thanx

IMO, very important - it means you're not capturing a good amount of bass. Whether the mics capture nothing below 100Hz or capture with a heavy rolloff, I think it's a problem. Here's a
frequency chart
for reference.

I have owned Squids in the past. Actually still have them.. Both Card and Omni..
Unless you are doing and acoustic show they tend to overload at high SPL quite easy w/o a roll off.
For the $'s they do just fine and they got me hooked.
