hertz

When recording vocals, selecting the optimal frequency range is crucial for capturing the nuances and richness of the human voice. Hertz (Hz) is the unit of frequency, representing the number of cycles per second of a sound wave.

The human vocal range typically spans from 80Hz to 15,000Hz, but for recording purposes, a narrower frequency range is generally employed to prioritize the most important vocal frequencies. The best hertz to record vocals is within the range of 100Hz to 10,000Hz, with the sweet spot often falling between 200Hz and 5,000Hz.
