Is anyone aware of any the scientific research that proves High SPL damages mics. There are two opposing camps so who can you trust?
I'm just trying to understand why loud spl doesn't hurt mics. Maybe someone with more technical MIC knowledge can chime in.
If you overload an electrical circuit long enough you can shorten it's life span or even change its physical state permanently, why doesn't this apply to microphones?
Thanks.
