Brett, On Rev. D of the Main DSP Board, mic coupling cap C28 was increased from 0.1 uF to 1 uF. On the alternate mic path, R24 and R26 were scaled from 1K to 10K while keeping C36/C37 at 1 uF. A 10x scaling increase in series resistance has the same net effect on the low-frequency turnover point as does a 10x increase in series capacitance. Line In was affected the same way with an increase at R18/R20 from 1K to 10K while keeping 1uF of series capacitance. The 10K + 1uF combination is good for keeping circuit Z and low-end audio response reasonable while minimizing SMT parts size and cost.
