4.3.6 Random-incidence Response
A microphone’s response in a diffuse sound field is equivalent to its random-inci-
dence response. The microphone’s random-incidence correction curves are shown in
Fig.4.6 and Fig.4.8. These corrections are added to the microphone’s actuator re-
sponse obtained using Electrostatic Actuator UA0033 in order to determine the
random-incidence response. The typical random-incidence response with and with-
out the protection grid are shown in Fig.4.10 and Fig.4.11.
The random-incidence corrections are calculated from the free-field corrections
measured in 5° steps according to Draft IEC1183–1993.
