Joey, the fastest practical risetime in a microphone is about 10us. Faster is possible, but signal/noise suffers, bigtime. Larger element caps are somewhat slower, but they can still have a pretty good audio bandwidth. Sometimes large area mikes can sound better. 30 years ago I did a live recording with Santana at the Fillmore Auditorium. We used only the stage mikes which were Shure or Electrovoice dynamic mikes. Wally Heider (sp) recording ADDED Neuman large element mikes and parallel recorded the event. When we listened to both tapes, we chose the Heider tape over ours, because of the improved transient response. ps. I haven't forgotten my info to you
