I made a little discovery today which I find quite odd.
I had read that most people put a couple of winds of electrical tape
around the head of their Shure 545 mics to ensure that the head
doesn't break off and also to stop some of the extraneous noise from
it moving.
I am talking about the little silver piece that you see between the
head and the start of the black plastic body.
Having never done this before I thought I would give it a try.
Anyway the result was something I definitely expect.
The tape decreases the bass response of the mic!!!
At first I thought it was my imagination, so I removed the tape and
then tested the mic.
Then I replaced the tape and tested it again.
I did this process over and over again, and it definitely reduces the
bass response when the tape is on the mic.
Strange but true!
So as you can probably guess, I have removed the tape!
