[QUOTE="jlaubza, post: 1117265, member: 21934"] Yes, there is a difference in the detail of the mic curve and RIAA curve but the mic curve drops in the bass region and rises in the mid treble region before tailing down. So, presumably, some equalization has to be applied to the mic response to get a flat line response suitable for digital files, not analogue vinyl recordings. LP playback is subject to groove rumble and high level 'hiss', some of which was from analogue tape and some from the groove itself. Hence the RIAA curve to cancel these noise artifacts. With digital masters, how much of these two noise artifacts are still an issue with LPs? [/QUOTE]
