And because FM broadcast radio caps audio at 15KHz, a CD “sounds better” than FM…yes, back in the day am SM57 was often good enough.

- tzs 2y ago…if you are young enough. By somewhere around 25 to 30 most people won’t be able to hear above 15 KHz. I’m a little surprised I’ve not seen audio equipment specifically for older people that just covers what they can hear.
- brudgers 2y agoSome plausible reasons: 1. Smaller market than more general market. 2. HiFi is a proven market. 3. “You are dying” is not a great marketing subtext. 4. Digital audio jellybeans produce 20khz and adding a low pass filter adds cost. 5. If a person only hears to 12KHz, there’s no advantage to a low pass filter.
