Post Subject: Benefit the “modern (dissonant) music with FM modulationPosted by steverino on: 5/27/2009

I assume the " benefit " referred to occurs both with live music and with CDs transmitted over the FM. Again I'm not an expert on FM transmission but the FM does roll off upper treble response quite noticeably which probably helps. Most recordings have far too much treble energy from too close micing. Also don't FM towers use giant tubes in the transmitter!? Live broadcast is a qualitatively different thing than anything else and shows the negative effect not only of committing the sound to disc but then having to decode the disc (whether LP or digital) compared with a direct mic feed. After all most popular music and these days maybe some classical are heard through mic feeds (and speakers) at the concert itself. Steverino
