Reference Calibration
The output levels of the MK:427 can be adjusted using a Cirrus CR:515 or CR:514 Acoustic Calibrator
as a reference source with the electrostatic actuator providing for routine verification.
Please note that this procedure should not be carried out unless the overall calibration of the
system needs to be verified and is included in this manual for reference only.
To create a reference calibration follow the steps below:
1.
Remove the Windshield from the microphone unit.
2.
Carefully unscrew the electrostatic actuator unit from the microphone capsule
Care must be taken at this step as the diaphragm of the microphone capsule will be exposed and is
easily damaged.
