Regarding the string quartet recording & accompanying graph - an example of 'full range recording' - as I said in the email, this recording shows the hallmarks of a compressed/saturated, close/multi-mic recording.

I would also say that I would be surprised if those sub-frequency LF 'spikes' were anything other than physically transmitted 'rumbling' from the players sitting on the floor (or even passing traffic), transmitted via the microphone stands.

As I said in the email, my microphones are mechanically isolated so that this effect will not be in my recordings.

Also, as I said in my email, the SPL used for playback governs the perceived spectrum - courtesy of the 'equal loudness contours', first published by Fletcher & Munson a long time ago.

My recordings are made for playback at performance SPL, not optimized for small scale speakers at quiet volumes.

In any case, I have recently made some further recordings which might be of interest:

Orchestra A - Orchestra       96/24 44/16 mp3

Orchestra B - Solo piano      96/24 44/16 mp3

Gregorian choir                   96/24 44/16 mp3

Classical Indian ensemble     96/24 44/16 mp3

Tabla                                96/24 44/16 mp3

Sitar                                 96/24 44/16 mp3

Drum kit                            96/24 44/16 mp3
