Title: How is the new sound quality on Ask JTF? I'm using a new microphone
Post by: Chaim Ben Pesach on November 14, 2011, 03:49:34 PM

בס''ד

I have gotten mixed reviews on the new sound quality. Some people tell me it sounds too shrill. Others say it sounds clearer and better.

Please let me know what you think.

I liked the old one. It is hard to explain the noise which annoyed me when I listened last night... Like a pffft sound...

This is why I suggested using one of those microphone mufflers {a piece of foam which covers the mic}...

Whatever you used in the previous asked JTF (not this week's, but last week's) had good sound quality.  For this week's I need to listen to it on my headphones.

I think any one of these 'microphone windshields' would resolve the problem...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone

Windscreens[note 1] are used to protect microphones that would otherwise be buffeted by wind or vocal plosives from consonants such as "P", "B", etc. Most microphones have an integral windscreen built around the microphone diaphragm. A screen of plastic, wire mesh or a metal cage is held at a distance from the microphone diaphragm, to shield it. This cage provides a first line of defense against the mechanical impact of objects or wind. Some microphones, such as the Shure SM58, may have an additional layer of foam inside the cage to further enhance the protective properties of the shield. One disadvantage of all windscreen types is that the microphone's high frequency response is attenuated by a small amount, depending on the density of the protective layer.

Beyond integral microphone windscreens, there are three broad classes of additional wind protection.

I'm listening to the show now.  You sound a little congested.

To much treble. We need more bass!

Exactly.  But the sound was clear

It's a bit high pitched

Hmmm,
I agree, this last one was high pitched and sounded a wee bit strange.
