It sepends on the actual input impedance of the mic preamp.

For a typical 2kohm input impedance, the capacitor should be 1.15uF for 70Hz cut-off.
The actual response would be first-order, i.e. only 6dB/octave.

Much less efficient than any active high-pass filter in the preamp.

The actual effective resistance for LF roll-off is 1k5 (input Z of the preamp) + Zo (of the mike)? So a much smaller capacitor is needed for a 70Hz cut-off.
I would say slightly larger.
With Zin= 1.5k and Zo=150r, the capacitor must be 1.35uF for -3dB@70Hz
?
But Zo of the mike(s) varies a lot so, like Jerry, I wouldn't use this to set the LF limit but only to get rid of subsonic noise.

Much of this is on page 2 of the latest version of SimpleP48.pdf? dtd. 29sep24
