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. If, at any time, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with any PCB product, PCB will repair, replace, or exchange it at no charge.

These microphones all have the same performance specifications but are fitted with different electrical connectors to make them suitable for differing applications. Model 130F20 features a BNC connector while Model 130F21 uses a 10-32 coaxial jack connector. Model 130F22 terminates in a SMB connector. These models are shown in Figure 1.
4.0 Installation There are many ways to mount the microphone, from simply placing the microphone in a clip to using a two-dimensional array stand. A diagram of an array configuration is provided in Figure 3. For installation of this type, remove the microphone from its package, connect the appropriate cable between the signal conditioner and the microphone, and connect a second cable between the signal conditioner and the data acquisition device.

All 130 series array microphones are designed for use in a free field environment. A free field environment is one without reflections. Anechoic rooms and outdoor spaces without structures are good examples of a free field environment. The free field response is the voltage response with respect to the pressure when exposed to a plane progressive sound wave.
