ABSTRACT
Additionally, a complete listing of mechanical and physical characteristics and any switchable performance features built into the microphone are described in this chapter.
Frequency response data should always state the physical measuring distance so that an assessment of proximity effect in directional microphones can be correctly made. If no reference is made, it can be assumed that measurements are made at 1 meter. Data for professional microphones may be presented with tolerance limits, as shown in Figure 7-1. Here, the data indicate that the microphone’s response falls within a range of 2 dB above about 200 Hz (slightly greater below that frequency); however, there is no indication of the actual response of a sample microphone.
