I'm in the middle of a couple of DIY KM-84 builds and am trying to sort out what makes a proper bias adjustment. I've watched this video a few different times trying to understand it:
It's got me curious what the effects are when the mics are in use. In the video he biased the microphone for least amount of THD without compromising that much headroom. ...and that was done by getting the 2nd harmonic as low as possible? Is that what most people do? When you actually use a mic, under what circumstances are you going to hear the differences between one that's biased for maximum headroom vs least THD?
