Frequency Response Graph Description
The frequency response graph displays the magnitude in dB (re 20µPa/2.83V, smoothed 1/6 octave) on the Y-axis against frequency in Hz on the X-axis, ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The graph shows two curves: one generally flat around 95-100 dB across the audible spectrum up to 18 kHz, with minor fluctuations, and a second, lower curve. A cursor is indicated at 20.4 Hz with a value of 100.08 dB.
Impulse Response Heatmap Description
This heatmap visualizes the microphone's directional sensitivity across frequencies (X-axis: 50 Hz to 20 kHz) and axial angles (Y-axis: -180° to +180°). Colors indicate sound pressure level in dB, with red representing higher levels (0 dB) and blue representing lower levels (-150 dB). The pattern demonstrates a focused cardioid pickup, with maximum sensitivity directly in front (0°) and decreasing sensitivity at off-axis angles, particularly at higher frequencies.
Polar Pattern @ 1 kHz Description
The polar pattern diagram at 1 kHz illustrates the microphone's sensitivity at different angles. It depicts a clear cardioid pattern, with maximum sensitivity at 0° (front) and decreasing sensitivity as the angle moves towards the sides (90°, 270°) and rear (180°). The sensitivity drops significantly in the rear hemisphere, reaching -24 dB and below.
Intended Use
This device is intended to be used to convert acoustic signals to electric signals. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
