4.4.2.8 A3: Overall Phase Check
• Place the measurement microphone again on-axis, according to 4.4.2.4,
distance 0.806 m;
• Set the phasemeter propagation delay time to 2.91 ms (corresponding to a
distance of 1 m);
• Set balanced generator to 255 mVRMS (i.e. –11.8 dBV or –9.7 dBu);
• Plot a phase sweep 20 Hz…20 kHz according to the graph below;
• If the result is above the tolerance, increase the microphone distance, or if
the result is below the tolerance, decrease the microphone distance, and re-
peat the phase sweep.
