Whilst dismantling a well known and well respected dynamic microphone, I came across something I had never seen before.
It seems to be a series LRC filter wired in parallel with the capsule.
Here is a schematic (drawn in PaintCAD.... err..ok... Paint):
So, does anyone know what exactly this is for? I'm guessing it is maybe there to improve the response in some way?
I calculated the low impedance resonance frequency of the RLC section as 1/Rt.(L*C), which gives Wo = 26860 which is 4275Hz.
But having said that, I still don't really know what is going on. Any ideas?
