Measurement microphones are crucial devices in acoustics and audio-related applications. They are characterized by high precision and a wide frequency response range, making them suitable for sound measurements and analyses. These microphones are used in research institutions, acoustical engineering, environmental sound measurements, music production, and similar fields.
Types of measurement microphones include condenser and dynamic microphones. Condenser microphones, known for their high sensitivity and accuracy, are ideal for detailed measurements. Dynamic microphones are robust and suitable for high sound pressure environments.
Calibration and precise positioning are essential for measurement microphones. Selecting the appropriate type based on the measurement target and environment is important, as is careful handling.
