QUOTE (jstcrsn @ May 26 2013, 11:35 AM)  it cuts the lows man, there is probably some paper work that tells what frequency Some instruments would benefit from a low end cut. Acoustic guitar would be a good example of this in a lot (not all) of situations. The switch is probably on the mic for live applications or situations when you don't have a lot of extra filters. -------------------- company contact

If you like how the mic responds when set to 'cardoid' (eg it rejects room ambience) but find that the proximity effect gives too much bottom end when close miking, then the low cut option will facilitate recording a tone that may not require much further shaping, gives the best dynamic range and will help avoid a compressor over-responding (pumping).

I often use low cut (or a high-pass filter, same thing essentially) on vocals. As a couple of the guys have already said, it cuts out part of the signal that you may not necessarily hear in particular, but eventually will muddy up your mix. I find with vocals, you can't quite liberally apply the high-pass, because most of the human vocal range resides in the mid to treble frequencies.
