Phantom powered microphone systems use a 3 pin XLR connector. A phantom powered microphone sys- tem should use a 48V phantom power supply or signal conditioner for optimum performance; however these microphone systems may be powered with a 24V or a 12V phantom power supply, but this will limit the maximum output voltage.
4.0 Taking Measurements The following formula is used to calculate the pressure measured by the microphone from the output voltage signal. The sensitivity of a microphone is typically measured at 250 Hz. Pressure (Pa) = Voltage (mV) / Sensitivity (mV/Pa). The lowest amplitude a healthy human ear can detect is 20 millionths of a Pascal (20Pa).
Windscreens and Nose cones Wind induced noise can be reduced by using a windscreen. This can offer some protection against dust particles and mechanical damage. In the presence of high-speed airflow from a well-defined direction, such as wind tunnels, a nose cone is recommended. When using windscreens and noise cones, the frequency response of the microphone will be attenuated at higher frequencies.
Class1 and IEC 60942-2003, Class 1, Sound Calibrators. 8.0 Warranty and Service All equipment and repair services provided by PCB Piezotronics, Inc. are covered by a warranty against defective material and workmanship under a Total Customer Satisfaction policy.
