4.5. WEIGHTING NETWORKS
The
A,
B,
C and D weighting networks are placed between
the
input and
output
amplifiers and a graph
of
their
characteristics
is
'shown
in
Fig.4.10.
The
A, B and C
networks
comply with
the
basic shape and tolerances set
by
I
EC
Recommendation 179 and
the
proposed D
network
has been also
designed
to
lie
within these same tolerances. (Table 4.1).
These
tolerances apply
to
the
whole
meter
in a free sound field
for
normal incidence
of
the
sound waves.
The
calibration
is
only
valid when
the
operator
has a negligble influehce
on
the
sound field
at
the
position
of
the
microphone.
