A little OT, but Joe is sooo correct. Starting college, I worked at an
FM station as a member of the TX engineering crew and a board op. I had
the sign-on shift 3 days a week and was the only one there ... and I
should probably include I was 16 and the engineering crew had minimal
adult supervision.
The mic at the board was the iconic prismatic RCA velocity mic, quite
big and I found that, if I crawled up to it real close while reading the
sign-on script, I sounded like a 45 yr old bass, highly experienced
announcer instead of a 16 yr old teenager. I think this is true for
most mic types, that velocity mic just may have been the extreme case.
While bass is nice on a 50 Hz to 15 KHz hi-fi broadcast channel playing
classical music [think 1812 Overture], you don't want that on a comm
channel. K3 TX EQ is extremely effective in tailoring the audio from
most any mic. I wonder how it would do using a Bell T-1 carbon element
from an old black telephone?

No, microphones need to be reasonably flat without excess low
frequency response, particularly when worked close.
