SolutionEquation (9.3) is applied to yield9.5 Selection and Positioning of Microphones 177E out = 2 × 10 −4 × 10 (85−50)/20 V = 0.0112 V = 11.2 mVMicrophone sensitivities typically range between 0.5 μV/μbar (−125 dB V/μbar)and 3 mV/μbar (−50 dB V/μbar). A microphone used for general sound levelpressure measurements in the frequency range of 10 Hz–20 kHz might have asensitivity of 3 mV/μbar (−50 dB V/μbar). But if it were desired to measurein the frequency range extending beyond 100 kHz, a special microphone designedfor this purpose would have a sensitivity of only 0.5 μV/μbar (−125 dBV/μbar).9.5 Selection and Positioning of MicrophonesFigure 9.3 illustrates a flow chart for the selection of microphones and theirorientation during their use on the basis of the nature of the sound field.
