Frequency Response

Frequency response is the ability of a system, like an electronic audio device to respond to different frequencies. It is a measure of how consistently a system can process various frequencies of input signals.

Frequency response is characterized by 2 parameters:

  • Amplitude response: How the output signal's amplitude varies with frequency.
  • Phase response: How the output signal's phase shifts with frequency.

 

Flat Response 

A flat frequency response is often the gold standard in systems where fidelity and accuracy are essential, such as studio monitors or high-precision measuring instruments. 

 

  

 

 

In a flat response curve, the system reproduces all frequencies consistently without amplification or attenuation. This uniformity ensures that the output remains true to the original signal, which is crucial in audio mixing or scientific research where signal integrity is of importance.

 

Low Frequency Response
