The flat sound really emphasises the sibilants, and for me, excessive "mouth noise". I hear a lot of nose whistle and saliva sounds. Maybe I suffer from some misophonia, but it drives me crazy sometimes.
- tacos 10y agoThat's due to the person being close to the mic. A flat microphone, by definition, emphasizes nothing. Moreover it's other aspects of the signal chain (compression, distortion, broadcast filters) that accentuate sibilance.
- riprowan 10y agoI couldn't agree more. I think that's actually the U87s you're hearing. They are very neutral, quite sensitive condenser mics - very unforgiving, not "flattering" just "realistic." Dynamic mics like most stations use (SM7, RE20) hide a lot of sibilance by exaggerating the fundamentals.
