Hello everyone, small insert here - I like using low frequency tactile transducers, also known as bass shakers for the reproduction of infrasonics. Attached to a structure you sit or lay on, you ¡°feel¡± the bass. Regards, Jonas

?An omni electret's LF response is usually limited by

  • the electronics.
The hole is easily seen on the side of a B&K capsule but should be easily identified in eg a PUI 5024.? Just put a SMALL drop of cyanoacrylate to seat it off and the acoustic bits will go down to 0Hz

In SimpleP48.pdf, making C1 = 22u should get you at least -3dB @ 4Hz and probably better than that.

Most modern preamps using THAT 15xx etc will have LF limits set by the input capacitors to deal with LF current noise & hot plugging ... usually 22u too so with 3 of 22u in series, -3dB @ 12Hz?

There's also the capsule capacitance and the FET input but in PUI 5024 etc and SimpleP48, that's way below the above factors.
=======================
None of the other suggestions have the inherent subsonic performance of an omni electret.
