61094-1 Ó IEC:2000– 5 –INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION____________MEASUREMENT MICROPHONES –Part 1: Specifications for laboratory standard microphonesFOREWORD1)The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprisingall national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promoteinternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. Tothis end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation isentrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with mayparticipate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaisingwith the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between thetwo organizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, aninternational consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representationfrom all interested National Committees.3)The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the formof standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the NationalCommittees in that sense.4)In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC InternationalStandards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Anydivergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearlyindicated in the latter.5)The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.6)
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subjectof patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.International Standard IEC 61094-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 29:Electroacoustics.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition and corrigendum published in 1992.This second edition constitutes a technical revision.The text of this standard is based on the first edition, the corrigendum and the followingdocuments:FDISReport on voting29/452/FDIS29/461/RVDFull information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report onvoting indicated in the above table.This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.The committee has decided that this publication remains valid until 2005. At this date, inaccordance with the committee’s decision, the publication will be:· reconfirmed;· withdrawn;· replaced by a revised edition, or· amended.SIST EN 61094-1:2001
61094-1 Ó IEC:2000– 7 –MEASUREMENT MICROPHONES –Part 1: Specifications for laboratory standard microphones1 ScopeThis part of IEC 61094 specifies mechanical dimensions and certain electroacousticcharacteristics for condenser microphones used as laboratory standards for the realizationof the unit of sound pressure and for sound pressure measurements of the highestattainable accuracy. The specifications are intended to ensure that primary calibration bythe reciprocity method can be readily carried out.This part also establishes a system for classifying laboratory standard condenser micro-phones into a number of types according to their dimensions and properties in order tofacilitate the specification of calibration methods, the conducting of inter-laboratorycomparisons involving the calibration of the same microphones in different laboratories, andthe interchangeability of microphones in a given calibration system.2 Normative referencesThe following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,constitute provisions of this part of IEC 61094. For dated references, subsequentamendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However parties toagreements based on this part of IEC 61094 are encouraged to investigate the possibility ofapplying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undatedreferences, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISOand IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.IEC 60050(801):1994, International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) – Chapter 801:Acoustics and electroacousticsASME B1.1:1989, Unified inch screw threads (UN and UNR thread form) 13 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this part of IEC 61094, the following definitions apply.Remark – The underlined symbols are complex quantities.3.1condenser microphonesmicrophone that operates by variation of electrical capacitance[IEV 801-26-13].NOTE
Only condenser microphones operating by a virtually constant charge obtained from an external polarizingvoltage applied from a source of suitably high internal resistance are considered.——————— 1(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Reference is given to ASME B1.1 in the absence of an equivalentinternational standard.SIST EN 61094-1:2001
61094-1 Ó IEC:2000– 9 –3.2laboratory standard microphonecondenser microphone capable of being calibrated to a very high accuracy by a primarymethod such as the closed coupler reciprocity method, and meeting certain severerequirements on mechanical dimensions and electroacoustical characteristics, especially withrespect to stability in time and dependence on environmental conditions3.3open-circuit voltagealternating voltage appearing at the electrical output terminals of a microphone as measuredby the insert voltage technique when the microphone is attached to the ground shieldconfiguration specified in 7.2 but is otherwise unloadedUnit: volt, VNOTE
Owing to the capacitive nature of the microphone, the voltage at the electrical terminals depends on the electricalload presented by the mechanical and electrical attachment of the microphone to a preamplifier. For this reason,preamplifiers used for measuring the open-circuit voltage of a microphone should fulfill the requirements of 7.2.3.4pressure sensitivity of a microphonefor a sinusoidal signal of given frequency and for given environmental conditions, the quotientof the open-circuit voltage of the microphone by the sound pressure acting over the exposedsurface of the diaphragm (i.e. at the acoustical terminals of the microphone), the soundpressure being uniformly applied over the surface of the diaphragm. This quotient is acomplex quantity, but when phase information is of no interest the pressure sensitivity maydenote its modulus onlyUnit: volt per pascal, V/Pa3.5pressure sensitivity level of a microphonelogarithm of the ratio of the modulus of the pressure sensitivity |Mp| to a reference sensitivity.The pressure sensitivity level in decibels is 20 lg (|Mp| / Mr), where the reference sensitivity Mris 1 V/PaUnit: decibel, dB3.6free-field sensitivity of a microphonefor a sinusoidal plane progressive sound wave of given frequency, for a specified direction ofincidence, and for given environmental conditions, the quotient of the open-circuit voltage ofthe microphone by the sound pressure that would exist at the position of the acoustic centreof the microphone in the absence of the microphone. This quotient is a complex quantity, butwhen phase information is of no interest, the free-field sensitivity may denote its modulus onlyUnit: volt per pascal, V/PaNOTE 1
At frequencies sufficiently low for the disturbance of the sound field by the microphone to be negligible,the free-field sensitivity approaches the pressure sensitivity (see 6.9 for practical limitations).NOTE 2
The position of the acoustic centre is a function of frequency.3.7free-field sensitivity level of a microphonelogarithm of the ratio of the modulus of the free-field sensitivity |Mf| to a reference sensitivity.The free-field sensitivity level in decibels is 20 lg (|Mf| / Mr), where the reference sensitivity Mris 1 V/PaUnit: decibel, dBSIST EN 61094-1:2001
