/ Free Field: on the front panel of the power module (see Fig. 2.1). Fig. 1.4 shows the responses of the two compensation filters as well as the free-field response for 0 ° incidence. Note: free-field corrections are added to the lowest curve. Fig. 1.5 shows the what these free-field corrections are for various angles of incidence. Fig. 1.6 shows, for a complete low-noise measuring system, a typical noise floor in ⅓-octave bands for both the linear and A-weighted cases.

Unscrew and remove the normal coupler of the Pistonphone. Screw the Coupler RA0090 to the Pistonphone, see Fig. 3.1. Mount the microphone of the Type 40HF in the Coupler as shown in Fig. 3.2 and switch the Pistonphone on. Adjust the analyser to indicate 94 dB* re. 20 μPa.
At this point you can make your measurements but keep an eye on the overload warning LEDs to avoid overloading the system and invalidating the measurements. Single-channel Low-noise Measuring System consisting of: Type 40HF and Type 12HF - Page 12...
