Going on… So what do the specifications mean? • Input impedance? Very obvious. It is the internal resistance of the microphone. This microphone has a 1.6k ohm resistance. Good microphones have a 400 ohm resistance. So what do the specifications mean? • Frequency Response? Obvious. The microphone will operate between 50 to 12k hz. Good microphones will operate between 30 to 20k hz. So what do the specifications mean? • Effective output Level? Not so obvious. The units are in decibels so what is being amplified? Amplification • The amplification relates air pressure caused by the voice to the output voltage. • So how much air pressure should be expected? A loud air plane will cause 70 PASCALs of air pressure. This equates to 0.2 volts of output from the microphone. • Therefore my ac /sinusoidal sources are going to have a magnitude of 0.1 volts and a dc offset voltage of 0.1 volts to keep it positive. • For a combined total of 0.2 volts maximum.

It has only been operated at dc. I probed it at various points to measure voltages. • Thos voltages where very similar to voltages given by pSpice. • The microphone has not come in, when it does I will continue testing. Further Improvements The Filter would be at least 1 2nd order band pass with variable capacitors. -The End- Time for questions.
