Topic: Frequency range ?

[momule]

20Hz - 20kHz

30Hz - 20kHz

whats the diffrence? What should I be looking for . (think Mule taping)
 if this will help . Im running D-Mod UA5 also

[momule]

about 10hz

the closer to zero (hz), the lower you go. The higher the number (khz), the higher the freq.

I see,,, Thank's Moke

SO is 30 not really low enough to handle most Bass.

[Sean Gallemore]

in theory, 20hz is better.

can I listen to something and say, "oooh, this was recorded with a 30hz mic instead of one that extends down to 20hz." ?

not I

Your "average" ear cuts out at around 38hz to 40hz, the rest is sub-sonic impact. Some of it is good, if done properly, or it can get boomy, and muddy, which is where we talk about hpf/bass roll off settings.

well said

thank's guys for the input.

+ t ya both.

thanx for my six hundred sixty-sixth ticket

Just to give you an idea, 20 Hz is what you feel when a big truck goes by down the road...or a subway underneath...you get the idea.  More feeling than hearing!

that's an awesome feel

you know if you play a 21Hz tone loud enough and with enough power it will loosen your sphinctor muscle and you'll have to immediately crap.

if you play a 9Hz tone loud enough and with enough power your brain will vibrate and explode

the first was proven by police in the early 1900's as a form of crowd control. too bad those idiots didn't know that low frequencies were omni-directional.  good ol cops

the second was apparantly proven back in the 1600's with the HUUUGGGE pipe organs in the big cathedrals.  i don't believe it necessarily but it's cool as hell to think about

just random latenight sub-sonic frequency ramblings

dude, that is a wicked awesome band name

one thing you want to keep aware of, generally as your mics hit the ends of their ranges the fq response gets really shaky- the lower it goes, even if you cant hear it persay, not only will you feel it, but it will result in clearer response above that mark.  note- this is a huge generalization, but often times true.

what i never got was ppl saying that the schopes are muddy or whatever blah blah blah, but theyre freq response is only at 40hz, and akgs are 20-20k, along w/ alot of other mics!!

120 Hz is the sound of a loose ground at the speaker connection or on an analog RCA input.

A 4 string bass guitar's low note is E at 41 Hz
The 5 & 6 string basses have a low B checking in at 31 Hz

Kick drums can produce sounds as low as several hertz, depending on tuning and set-up.

Mic response curves and frequency specs. need to be taken with a grain or two of salt.

In the words of the sageous Moose, just listen !

Wouldn't that be 60 Hz (with 120 as the first harmonic)? AC power oscillates at 60 Hz, at least in the US.
