Table C.1.2. Linear operating range: „HIGH“ (primary level range) for the sinusoidal signal and
microphone sensitivity 50 mV/Pa
Note: For the signals with the crest factor n > 1.41 upper measurement 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 A
10
= 120 dB
Measurement ranges
Reference measurement range of the acoustic pressure High
Measurement frequency range of the acoustic pressure (-3 dB) 3.15 Hz ÷ 20 000 Hz.
Basic measurement error of the acoustic pressure < 0.7 dB (measured for the reference
conditions, see below).
Weighting filters (see part 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
• G meeting requirements of the ISO 7196:1995 standard
