In 101 terms, what are the consequences of running a tube mic at the low or high end of recommended voltages?
Let's say an M49 circuit:
Heater 6 to 12V
B+ 100 to 120V
I imagine shortened lifespan if heater is elevated, but how about the sonic impacts? Is there a change in how they respond to transients, or amount of headroom in the circuit? (Drums are always at front of mind for every build for me.)
I didn't find the topic though it's surely been covered here... welcome links or pdfs that directly address this. Thanks
