The Endevco microphone model EM40AE is a ½-inch precision condenser microphone for general purpose measurements in open acoustic fields. It is a prepolarized free-field microphone with a large dynamic range and a wide frequency response. As a free-field microphone, the model EM40AE is for measuring the sound pressure which existed before it was placed in the sound field pointing towards the sound source. The disturbing effects of its presence in the sound field are minimal at low frequencies (large wavelengths compared with microphone size). At higher frequencies, the effects of reflections and diffractions generally lead to an increase in the measured sound pressure levels. Fig.2 shows what these are in a free-field for various angles of incidence. The model EM40AE compensates for this to provide a flat frequency response at an angle of 0° incidence in a free-field (see Fig.1). Endevco Isotron® preamplifiers are also available for use with the model EM40AE, these are: ½-inch preamplifier model EM26CA ¼-inch preamplifier model EM26CB with adaptor All Endevco microphones comply with the specifications of IEC 1094: Measurement Microphones, Part 4: Specifications for working standard microphones. Non-corrosive, stainless materials are used in manufacturing these microphones to enable them to withstand rough handling and corrosive environments. All Endevco microphones are guaranteed for 5 years and are individually checked and calibrated before leaving the factory. An individual calibration chart is supplied with each microphone.
