NEW     MATCHING MICROPHONES

 

iSEMcon  now  offers  matching    stereo 
pairs  as  well  as  matching  triples  and 
quads  within  a  consistent  tolerance. 
While matching microphones , it is cru-
cial  to  ensure  that  the  frequency  re-
sponse  and  sensitivity  is  identical 
within a  specified tolerance .  Some of 
our competitors state that their micro-
phones  are  matching  or  sell  matching 
pairs  and  you  are  not  informed  about 
how  those  microphones  might  be  dif-
ferent  in  frequency  response  and  mi-
crophone sensitivity. 

iSEMcon’s matching tolerance

 

To  ensure  realistic  sound  field  meas-
urement    and  multi  channel  audio  ex-
perience,  each  microphone  is  individu-
ally  calibrated  and  selected  to  meet 
our  standard  matching  tolerance.  The 
matching tolerance is applicable within 
the  microphone’s  entire  frequency 
range. 
For  the  EMX-7150  the  matching  toler-
ance  on  frequency  response  is  +/- 
0.5dB    and  1mV  on  microphone  sensi-
tivity. 

The matching process (1-4): 

The  first 

stage of testing  begins with the 

selection  of  microphone  capsules.  We 
filter capsules being close in their overall 
performance  (frequency  and  sensitivity). 

The  second 

stage  is  the  microphone 

manufacture  using  those  selected  cap-
sules. 

The third 

stage focuses on final testing of 

each microphone. This includes the cali-
bration procedure (individual frequency 
response measurement) as well as sensi-
tivity measurement at 12V, 24V
