I don't know if everything here is true so caveat emptor:

It's full of typos including the name of the webpage. :/

Here's a handy one . . . note that "driver diameter" is cone, not nominal.

And this one goes a long way toward explaining why flat mics close to the performers plus flat speakers close to the listener sound so much "brighter" than what you hear in the concert hall.

HUH??????? I've made such recordings and they don't sound "brighter". I certainly don't sound "brighter" in front of the old Tulsa Philharmonic Orchestra in the "Old Lady on Brady" playing Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A Major with an AKG 24" from my bell (and you still can't hear my keys click, which the Maestro certainly could, 5 feet away). This guy needs his lug nuts re-tightened....

HUH??????? . . . I certainly don't sound "bright**" Ummmmm . . . If you don't know how different a clarinet sounds comparing "up close" and 50-100 feet away in the audience you might try plugging some numbers into the "absorbtion" calculator. Which doesn't need anything "tightened".

Not a calculator, but an attempt to put "listening" in a semi-standardized context . . .

Interesting paper. Thanks Deward. It seems to lay out important factors quite succinctly.

Here are some infamous posts by one of the principals of that company on rec.audio.* newsgroups ~12-13 years ago. For someone so concerned with copyright, they seem to have copied a fair amount of other peoples' intellectual property on their website.
