Frequency Response and Polar Pattern
The microphone exhibits a flat frequency response across the 20Hz to 20kHz range, indicating accurate sound reproduction. The provided graph illustrates the microphone's frequency response in dBV/Pa versus frequency (Hz), showing a relatively consistent output across the audible spectrum. The polar pattern diagram, a circular graph, confirms the omnidirectional pickup, meaning the microphone captures sound equally from all directions (360 degrees).
