Product catalog summary
Overview of TEDS Microphones
TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) microphones are sophisticated devices that combine a cartridge and preamplifier in a sealed environment. They feature a data chip storing specific microphone information, such as type and serial number, and comply with IEEE 1454.4 standards.
Uses and Features
  • Uses: Suitable for general sound measurements and dynamic pressure fluctuations.
  • Features: Offer plug-and-play capability, a frequency range from 1 Hz to 180 kHz, and a dynamic range of 6.5 dB to 192 dB.
Benefits
The main advantage of TEDS microphones is their programmed identity and sensitivity, which aids in documentation and application. They are produced in a contamination-free environment to ensure high performance.
Data Transmission
Data from the TEDS chip can be transmitted via a separate wire (class 2) or through a single-wire system using an electronic switch for signal and data mode.
Selection Criteria
Choosing the appropriate TEDS microphone involves considering the front-end input type (classical or CCLD) and the sound field type for which the microphone is optimized.
Specifications
TEDS microphones are provided with individual data CDs and calibration charts, except for certain models. They operate within a temperature range up to 85°C, with some preamplifiers supporting higher temperatures.
Types of TEDS Microphones
  • Free-field Microphones: Designed for flat frequency response in free fields, suitable for anechoic chambers and general electroacoustic purposes.
  • Pressure-field Microphones: Optimized for flat response in pressure fields, used in small, closed couplers or near reflective surfaces.
  • Diffuse-field Microphones: Designed for flat response in diffuse fields, ideal for indoor measurements with multiple sound sources.
  • Special Microphones: Includes infrasound, high-intensity, aerospace, automotive, and low-noise microphones for specific applications.
Ordering Information
Brüel & Kjær offers a range of TEDS microphones, with options for customization upon request.
Microphone Specifications
  • Pressure-field Microphones: Types 4192, 4193, 4938, 4941, 4942, 4943, 4944, 4956, and 4966 are listed with various preamplifier types and adaptors.
  • Free-field Microphones: Types 4939, 4954, 4955, and 4956 are designed for free-field applications, with specific models for hand-held analyzers.
  • Diffuse-field Microphones: Types 4942 and 4943 are prepolarized for diffuse-field applications.
  • Array Microphones: Types 4957, 4958, and 4959 are designed for array configurations, with specific frequency capabilities.
Additional Equipment
  • TEDS Related Equipment: Includes TEDS Editor Kit, In-line TEDS Adaptor, and Charge to CCLD Converters.
Notes
  • Some microphone types are delivered with a LEMO to Brüel & Kjær cable, which does not support TEDS.
  • TEDS compliance is noted for certain array microphones, adhering to IEEE 1454.4 standards.

TEDS Microphones-1

P R O D U C T D ATA TEDS Microphones A TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) microphone is a cartridge and a preamplifier assembled and sealed in a clean environment. The assembly has one type and serial number. Individual TEDS microphone information is programmed in a data chip inside the preamplifier. TEDS microphones are available with CCLD as well as classical preamplifiers. TEDS is standardized in compliance with IEEE 1454.4. Uses and Features Uses • General sound measurements • Measurement of dynamic pressure fluctuations • Plug‐and‐play • Frequency: 1 Hz to 180 kHz • Dynamic Range: 6.5 dB to 192 dB Brüel & Kjær’s TEDS Microphones TEDS Microphone Benefits The most important benefit of a TEDS microphone is that the actual identity and loaded sensitivity of the cartridge are programmed in the TEDS and thereby readily available for documentation and application purposes. For many Brüel & Kjær TEDS microphones, the individual frequency response is stored on a mini‐CD under the S/N ratio of the microphone. During the manufacturing process the unit is sealed in a clean environment, thus eliminating contamination that could later result in reduced performance. TEDS Templates All Brüel & Kjær TEDS microphones, except Types 4957, 4958 and 4959, use a template that complies with IEEE P1454.4 V 0.9. A mapping that complies with IEEE 1454.4 V 1.0 is available free of charge for new TEDS microphones. Data Transmission Generally, there are two ways that data from the TEDS chip can be transmitted to the analyzer. The simpler way, class 2, uses a separate wire to transmit the data. For classical, LEMO type TEDS preamplifiers, pin 5 is often used for TEDS data transmission. In single‐wire systems, like that used with CCLD, the same conductor is used both for signal and data transmission. This is made possible by using an electronic switch to control the mode of the wire (TEDS data or signal mode).

Free-field TEDS Microphones Free‐field microphones are designed to have a flat frequency response in a free field. At higher frequencies, reflections and diffractions cause a pressure increase in front of the diaphragm. If not corrected for, this would result in an increased output voltage from the microphone. Free‐field optimization means that the frequency response of the microphone has been designed in such a way that a flat free‐field frequency response at 0° angle of incidence is achieved. Free‐field microphones are commonly used for sound measurement in an anechoic chamber or far away from...
