Where did you get such a idea? They record all, I repeat all
frequencies. Or have the sonograms I've done for many years on hundreds
of MD recording telling lies? They are not comb filters.
Also like most consumer products, they operate at a

While we are talking about a consumer walkman MD, you should realize
there are Pro MD's too.
The consumer MD's are capable of recording all that the mics in question
can put out.
