Octave filters (optional)
Number of bands ~ Eleven bands, with center frequencies (f
16 Hz to 16 kHz. The octave filters are flat within < 0.3 dB in each passband.
The half-power points are at 0.707 f
Octave skirts ~ With respect to f
Third-octave filters (optional)
Number of bands - Thirty-three bands, with center frequencies from 12.5 Hz
to 20 kHz. The 1/3 octave filters are flat within <0.3 dB in each passband.
The half-power points are at 0.89 f
Third-octave skirts ~ With respect to f
approximately 50 dB down.
Instrument noise
Noise floor depends upon which microphone is being used. The following
measurements are for a typical instrument, with the 059-703 adapter (18 pF)
connected to the preamp and shorted at the BNC end. This condition closely
simulates the noise floor of a ½-inch microphone. For these measurements,
the instrument was set to the lowest range and to a slow response time.
Environmental effects
The typical time interval needed to stabilize after changes in environmental
conditions is 5 minutes for each 10 C change.
