Special filters
• Diffuse field – compensation filter filter improving the complete instrument frequency response in
the diffuse acoustic field (see below)
• Free field – compensation filter filter improving the complete instrument frequency response in
the free acoustic field (see below)
• Windscreen – compensation filter filter improving the instrument frequency response in the free
acoustic field when windscreen SA 22 is mounted on the
microphone (see C.1.2)
SVAN 979 diffuse field compensation filter
Note: Using special filters might change the frequency response and measurement ranges of
SVAN 979. Please check the below given specification.
