2K Club - QQ Super Nova
(I don't know where to post this, mods, if you need to move this I totally understand)
So, I "inherited" what seems to be an Orchestra/Symphonic triangle.
When I got it and heard the extremely rich sound I immediately wondered what its highest frequency would be so today I ventured into "Adventures in Modern Recording...at home" and I dusted off my Neumann TLM 103 and the Focusrite producer's pack rack unit and I proceeded to record it in 192K, the sampling frequency I think is overkill for modern non-Classical music and which I NEVER use for recording.
At first I thought that highest freq would be quite high but the reality floored me. The harmonics on this thing shoot past 96K !!! It would be extremely interesting to see where it all ends but I can only go up to 192K in my MOTU 828es.
I did not use any compression nor EQ in the recording.
It also is a great exercise on the fidelity of my recording and playback gear cause when I played it back through the speakers it didn't sound nearly half as good as it does in real life and the headphones did not fare much better... but at the same time it does speak very highly of my mic and sound card. I also discovered a few frequencies in the recording that are not supposed to be there , at about 13.6K, 43.5K, 69.7K and 87K (probably the overtone of the 43.5K one).
Here is the screen grab:
