摘要:
The pressure sensitivities of two 1/2‐in. electret, two 1‐in. ceramic, and two back‐vented 1‐in. condenser microphones were measured for numerous combinations of temperature, percentage relative humidity, and frequency. The two condenser microphones were calibrated by the reciprocity technique at each combination of temperature, relative humidity, and frequency. The condenser microphones were then used as calibrated sources to determine the pressure sensitivities of the other microphones. Insert voltage techniques were used to eliminate the environmental effects on the electronics. It was found that the back‐vented condenser microphones are insensitive to changes in relative humidity. At frequencies considerably below their resonance frequencies they exhibited only a very small change in sensitivity with temperature. At frequencies closer to the resonance frequency the temperature coefficient increases approximately fourfold. The temperature and humidity coefficient for the electret and ceramic microphones could not be determined due to the instability in their sensitivities which produced changes that were larger than those induced by the temperature and humidities.
