Free Field - Pressure Correction Factors

If a measurement microphone is held in a free-field environment, then the measurement microphone acts at high frequencies like a reflector. The sound pressure increases in front of the microphone capsule membrane. M2230, M2340, M2211 and M2215 are free-field equalized measurement microphones, they compensate for the increased pressure internally. The calibration of the measurement microphones M2230 and M2340 with the B&K 4226 requires the accessory Adapter Ring MXR01, NTi Audio # 600 040 105. Please note, never touch the diaphragm of the measurement microphone capsule.
The calibrator no longer offers free-field conditions. Therefore, the free-field equalization of the microphone must be compensated. This needs to be considered prior the calibration. The correction value needs to be added to the pressure response of the microphone.

The following corrections apply with the B&K 4226 calibrator:

Example: · During the calibration, the XL2 measures the sound level in
the calibrator. If the B&K 4226 calibrator is used and it is set to 16 kHz, then the XL2+M2230 reads just 86.7 dBA. · The free-field sound level is calculated by summing the XL2 measurement value and the correction value (86.7 dB + 7.3 dB = 94.0 dB).

Diffuse-field Sensitivity Level Correction
A diffuse sound field is characterized by the sound arriving at the receiver from all directions with more or less equal probability. The M2230, M2340, M2211, M2215 and M4261 are free-field equalized measurement microphones. The default frequency response refers to a 0° sound incidence. The diffusefield sensitivity level correction is calculated by averaging the directional characteristics in accordance with IEC 61183. The corrections for diffuse-field conditions are documented in the following table and may be activated directly on the XL2; see Spectral Corrections. The directional response of the M2230 is described in the appendix.
Example: · The sound pressure level in a diffuse sound field shall be
determined. The display of the XL2 with the M2230 reads 80.0 dBA for the 20 kHz third-octave band. · The diffuse sound level is now calculated from the sum of the XL2 measurement value and the correction value (80.0 dB + 5.9 dB = 85.9 dB).
The diffuse-field sensitivity level correction is not necessary using a diffuse field equalized measurement microphone.

Spectral Correction for horizontal Sound Incidents using the Outdoor Microphone

The outdoor microphone M2230-WP fulfills Class 1 requirements of IEC 61672 and ANSI S1.4 for vertical sound incidence. For compliance with horizontal sound incidence a spectral correction is employed in the associated XL2 Sound Level Meter.
