Hey, did someone else make AKG CK9x "actives" too? Cool...
As far as rolloff goes, I never used/needed it. If the capsules are powered correctly, they will not overload. What are you recording into? Maybe your preamp needs more headroom. If so, try putting it directly into line input. I found the AKG capsules very balanced, not too much bass, but not too little either...

Hi folks,
Since I am not too "electric" I am now on my knees and ask for your help: (..and I suck on math...)
I have a homebrew 3 wire battbox that drives a pair of AKG CK91 capsules with truly great results bulilt from the specifications in numerous threads around here.
Sometimes I run into very bassheavy situations where I´d like to have a filter to lower the massiveness of bass input.
Could someone please help me calculate resistors and caps for a 80-ish Hz rolloff???
I´d be happy as the LogLady in Twin Peaks for your help!
