Default Electret Condenser Mic Question

Quite true on wideband audio response and the necessary
amplification that must follow it.

Working around stray RF fields can cause other problems
around electret microphones. They are inherently high-
impedance so one has to pay attention to the VLF and up
stray RF because of that high impedance...especially if
using newer op-amps or other active devices having high
frequency amplification. It is a compromise in design:
attenuate the VLF and above response but hold the
microphone amplifier response flat out to at least 10 KHz.

====================================
You probably mean the last line to be ...........not more than approx 3
kHz. After all we talk 'phone' operation.
