The variation
in
microphone sensitivity with temperature
i"s
shown for
two
typical 4145 microphones
in
Fig.5.9. The flexible extension rod should
be fitted when operation over temperatures of more than 50°C,
so
that
the
Input Stage
is
not overheated. Apart from
that,no
precautions are necessary
to
retain the fidel·ity of
the
Input Stage.
The temperature range over which
the
calibration
of
the
complete
apparatus changes by
less
than 0.5
dB
is
-20
to
+
50°C.
When the micro-
phone
is
operated
at
more extreme temperatures it
is
advisable
to
recalibrate
the
whole system.

PRESSURE
The effect of static ambient pressure
on
the
frequency response and
sensitivity
of
the Microphone
4145
is
shown
in
Figs.5.11 and 5.12.
Fig.5.11 was measured
