Designed to measure the sound pressure in the sound field, compensating for the influence of the presence of the microphone in the sound field. The microphone measures the sound pressure as it existed before the microphone was introduced in the sound field, i.e. free-field conditions.
Designed to measure the sound pressure in the sound field, compensating for the influence of the presence of the microphone in the sound field. In effect, the microphone measures the sound pressure as it existed before the microphone was introduced in the sound field, i.e. free-field conditions. The free field microphone should be pointed towards the sound source at a 0° angle of incidence.
These free-field microphones are designed to measure sound as it exists in an open, unobstructed environment — that is, a free field where there are no nearby reflective surfaces that could affect the sound. These microphones are calibrated to account for the way sound waves behave when they directly strike the microphone diaphragm without any interference from surrounding objects.
