This conclusion is not that obvious to me for I used to think that EMF in a coil depends on its speed and pressure is related to force, i.e. acceleration. With the constant acceleration amplitude you are getting lower speed amplitude at higher frequencies. The shorter period, the lower max speed for the given acceleration. > Please compare the published frequency characteristics > of condenser and dynamic microphones.
