Table C.1.2. Linear operating ranges for the Low measurement range (for the sinusoidal signal and
microphone sensitivity 32 mV/Pa)
Note: For the signals with the crest factor n > 1.41 upper measuring range of the RMS (LEQ
and SPL) is reduced. The valid upper limit can be calculated according to the below given
formula: , where A is the upper limit for the sinusoidal signal
Example: For the crest factor n = 10 the upper limit is A10 = 120 dB
Measuring ranges
Reference measuring range of the acoustic pressure Normal
Measuring frequency range of the acoustic pressure (-3 dB) 5 Hz ÷ 20 000 Hz.
Basic measurement error of the acoustic pressure < 0.7 dB (measured for the reference
conditions, see below).
Weighting filters (see Chapter C.3)
Z meeting requirements of the IEC 61672-1:2013 standard for the Class 1 “Z“ filter
A meeting requirements of the IEC 651 and IEC 61672-1:2013 standard for the Class 1 “A” filter
B meeting requirements of the IEC 651 and IEC 61672-1:2013 standard for the Class 1 “B” filter
C meeting requirements of the IEC 651 and IEC 61672-1:2013 standard for the Class 1 “C” filter

*) measured with the ST 03 microphone equivalent impedance 18 pF@100kOhm ± 10%
Special filters
• Diffuse Field compensation filter that improves the complete instrument
frequency response in the diffuse acoustic field (see below)
• Windscreen compensation filter that improves the instrument frequency
response in the free acoustic field when windscreen SA 22 is
mounted on the microphone (see Chapter C.1.2)
