INTERCOMPARISON OF FREE FIELD CALIBRATION OF MICROPHONES

Objective



Microphones are calibrated by the reciprocity technique, where a set of 3 microphones is used 2 by 2, one acting as transmitter and the other as receiver. By 3 measurements it is possible to find the sensitivity of each microphone expressed as the output voltage/sound pressure on the microphone diaphragm.

Reciprocity calibration can be performed either with a coupler or in a free field situation. Until now most work has been concentrated on pressure calibration with couplers. However practical measurements, in particular field measurements related to legislation, require free-field calibrations of microphones, sound level meters, etc.

Two previous BCR intercomparisons dealt with the pressure calibration with couplers of 1/2" and 1" microphones and had an important influence on the revision of the ISO standards. The objective of the present intercomparison is to measure the free-field sensitivities of six standard 1/2" and 1" microphones and resolve the reasons for any differences that are observed between laboratories.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
