TERMINOLOGY
1. Sensitivity (dBFS) – Sensitivity is a measure of the microphone output response to the acoustic pressure of a 1kHz
94dB SPL (1Pa RMS) sine wave. This is referenced to the output Full Scale Range (FSR) of the microphone.
2. Full Scale Range (FSR) - Sensitivity, Electrical Noise Floor and Power Supply Rejection are measured with reference
to the output Full Scale Range (FSR) of the microphone. FSR is defined as the amplitude of a 1kHz sine wave output
whose positive peak value reaches 100% density of logic 1s and whose negative peak value reaches 0% density of
logic 1s. This is the largest undistorted 1kHz sine wave that will fit in the digital output numerical range. Note that,
because the definition of FSR is based on a sine wave, it is possible to support a square wave test signal output
whose level is +3dBFS.
3. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (dB) – SNR is a measure of the difference in level between the output response of a 1kHz 94dB
SPL sine wave and the idle noise output.
4. Total Harmonic Distortion (%) – THD is the ratio of the RMS sum of the harmonic distortion products in the specified
bandwidth (see note below) relative to the RMS amplitude of the fundamental (ie. test frequency) output.
5. All performance measurements are carried out with 20kHz low pass ‘brick-wall’ filter and, where noted, an A-weighted
filter. Failure to use these filters will result in higher THD and lower SNR values than are found in the Acoustic and
Electrical Characteristics. The brick wall filter removes out of band noise.
