The impedance of a crystal telephone is pri- marily a capacitive reactance. Because of this fact the low frequency re- sponse may be raised relative to the high frequency response by connecting a high resistance in series with the receivers. A high resistance must be used because the impedance of the crystal is very high, being 80,000 ohms at 10,000 cycles. A res
