Its a low roll off and high boost during the cut.
Frequency range of vinyl.
Unlike cd vinyl has no inherent high frequency limit in theory the cd format has a hard limit in that only frequencies below 22 05 khz can be encoded.
But its not a high roll off.
The high frequency response of vinyl depends on the cartridge.
Lp s surface noise which is responsible for the poor dynamic range is mainly concentrated below 500hz where the noise level is around 50db.
The dynamic range of a direct cut vinyl record may surpass 70 db.
Pcm of any flavor has a flat response to fs.
This analysis focuses on the bell percussion sounds near the end of the track the left channel was used.
Frequency response of vinyl is supperior to cd digital but the dynamic noise is not.
This is not the case with vinyl.
And that all to have a better dynamic range.
I stand by this.
The noise floor is even lower for an audiophile pressing on good quality vinyl.

The dynamic range of vinyl when evaluated as the ratio of a peak sinusoidal amplitude to the peak noise density at that sine wave frequency is somewhere around 80 db.
There is no hard limit upper frequency limit like that with vinyl in theory.
Since vinyl has a frequency response from 7hz to 50khz and beyond along with more than 75db of dynamic range you can be sure that your music will be accurately reproduced on your lp.
Yes vinyl was noisier.
View credits reviews tracks and shop for the 1991 vinyl release of frequencies on discogs.
When i cut a master for vinyl and a cd master from the same digital master tape they sounded pretty much the same except for the noise floor.
Riaa equalization wikipedia the free encyclopedia.
The range of audible sound goes from a low frequency of 20hz up to about 20 000hz or 20khz.
And this is for a mass produced commercial lp purchased second hand from a thrift store for around 1.
The low frequency response of vinyl records is restricted by rumble noise described above as well as the physical and electrical characteristics of the entire pickup arm and transducer assembly.
Vinyl has greater resolution than cd because its dynamic range is higher than for cd at the most audible frequencies.
