EN 60268-4:2014

Sound system equipment - Part 4: Microphones

IEC 60268-4:2014 specifies methods of measurement for the electrical impedance, sensitivity, directional response pattern, dynamic range and external influences of sound system microphones, and also details the characteristics to be specified by the manufacturer. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2010, and constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following changes: - clarification of Table 5 of classification of characteristics; - clarification of graphical representation; - clarification of environmental influences; - rewritten clause for EMC; - tolerances and more specific values for noise measurements; - inclusion of near-field response for sound source-to-microphone distances of the order of 30 cm.

Elektroakustische Geräte - Teil 4: Mikrofone

Equipements pour systèmes électroacoustiques - Partie 4: Microphones

L'IEC 60268-4 :2014 spécifie les méthodes de mesure portant sur l'impédance électrique, l'efficacité, le diagramme de directivité, la dynamique, et les perturbations extérieures des microphones pour les systèmes électroacoustiques, et détaille également les caractéristiques à spécifier par le constructeur. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2010. Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications suivantes: - clarification du Tableau 5 de classification des caractéristiques; - clarification de la représentation graphique; - clarification des influences de l'environnement; - réécriture de l'article relatif à la CEM; - tolérances et valeurs plus spécifiques pour les mesures de bruit; - inclusion de la réponse en champ proche pour des distances source sonore-microphone de l'ordre de 30 cm.

Elektroakustične naprave - 4. del: Mikrofoni (IEC 60268-4:2014)

Ta del standarda IEC 60268 določa metode merjenja za električno impedanco, občutljivost, odzivni krmilni vzorec, dinamično območje in zunanje vplive elektroakustičnih mikrofonov ter hkrati določa značilnosti, ki jih opredeli proizvajalec. Velja za elektroakustične mikrofone za vse uporabe pri govoru in glasbi. Ne velja za merilne mikrofone, vendar pa velja za vsak avdio kanal mikrofonov, ki imajo več kot en kanal, na primer za stereo oziroma podobno uporabo. Velja tudi za vgrezne vgradne mikrofone in za analogne značilnosti mikrofonov z digitalnim avdio izhodom.
Za namene tega mednarodnega standarda mikrofon vključuje vse take naprave, kot so transformatorji, predojačevalniki ali drugi elementi, ki tvorijo sestavni del mikrofona, do izhodnih terminalov, ki jih določi proizvajalec. Glavne značilnosti mikrofona so obravnavane v točkah 6 do 21. Dodatne značilnosti so obravnavane v dodatkih A, C in D.
OPOMBA: Značilnosti, opredeljene v tem standardu, ne opisujejo v celoti subjektivnega odziva mikrofona. Vložiti je treba dodatni trud v iskanje novih definicij in postopkov merjenja za poznejše nadomestilo z objektivnimi značilnostmi vsaj nekaterih subjektivnih opisov, ki se uporabljajo za opisovanje delovanja mikrofona.
