At the low-frequency end, digital recording theoretically goes all
the way down below weather, to DC. I imagine that the major high-pass
effect in a recorder would be the coupling capacitors in the mic
preamp and converter. It shouldn't be hard to up-value those to
achieve lower-frequency capability. I suggest that you inquire of
Zaxcom whether such a mod might be possible.

Search the archives of this list for information about the Sennheiser
11tp:/cs that were made for low-frequency acquisition.
