Beyer M160

Reference frequency response plots used in manuals, ad copy, specs on websites etc are generally smoothed to give an overall idea of what the frequency response is. In practice, nothing's that smooth - there are always little jagged peaks and troughs caused by the fact the mic is a physical object with resonances and reflective surfaces, made up of parts that aren't all going to be exactly the same from one mic to the next. To be honest, accurate, unit specific frequency response graphs are imo only really important in practice if you need to find a close matched stereo pair.

Nothing in your actual frequency plot looks out of the ordinary to me, though of course I can't hear the mic so I'm not saying there *isn't* a problem, just... are you sure you're not being a bit paranoid because you weren't expecting the plot to look like that?


Edit: Should have spotted the 2nd page of the thread, I see this has been covered. Carry on.
