The reversible changes are shown in Fig.2.21 as a change in sensitivity and in
Fig.2.22 and Fig.2.23 as changes in the frequency response normalized at 250Hz.
Temperature Coefficient (1000Hz):
+0.005dB/°C, typical (for the range –10 to +50°C)
The effect of temperature on the free-field response (see Fig.2.23) of the microphone
is the sum of the following effects:
●
the calculated effect of the change in the speed of sound due to temperature on
the 0°-incidence free-field correction
●
the measured change in the actuator response due to temperature (see Fig.2.22).
