What is Frequency Range?
Frequency range is the span of frequencies a microphone, loudspeaker, or system can handle reliably. It’s usually defined between two cutoff points, where the output drops by 3 decibels compared to the flat response.
For example, if a microphone has a frequency range of 20 Hz to 18 kHz, that means it performs consistently within that band.
Sounds outside the range may still register, but accuracy and reliability drop off. In this video, we explain what frequency range means, how cutoff points are set, and why it matters when choosing the right equipment for measurement or audio applications.
