An STC or Coles 4038 is a good mic for the recording. As you say,
many top notch studio mics haven't got a flat response.


Much of the current art of audio production is dedicated to getting a
preferred sound that may be nothing like the live performance.


Out of interest, how are the 'response curves' for various speakers
made? do they just use a super-linear microphone, or is there some other
technique used, perhaps measuring harmonics?

I'd like to be able to make profiles of various speakers, so it would be
interesting to see how its done...
