Calibration
Calibration is easily carried out
using Sound Level Calibrator Type
4230, which fits directly over the mi-
crophone and produces a nominal
sound pressure level of 94 dB ( ± 0,3
dB). Calibration with the Type 4230
permits a check of the entire instru-
ment, including the microphone.
AC Output
An AC output provides the ampli-
fied and filtered signal. Upper range
limit corresponds to 2 V RMS. It is
