TIP: definition of the nominal sensitivity of the microphone lines .
The nominal sensitivity of the microphone lines indicates the voltage level on the
For a handset , the "normal spoken” conditions take place when the talker mouth is 7cm far from the microphone ; under these conditions the voice will produce an acoustic pressure of
TIP: electrical equivalent signal and operating voice levels .
At "normal spoken" conditions, a microphone having the suggested nominal sensitivity of - 45dBVrms/Pa , will produce
the electrical equivalent signal :
MicLevel = (
that means :
MicVoltage = 10 ( -49.7 / 20 ) = 3.3* 10 -3 Vrms
During a call, this level varies according to the volume of the talker voice; usually the following rough thumb rule for the dynamic range may be used :
1)the talker is screaming . This is the strongest voice level condition: the signal increases by +20dB;
2)the talker is whispering. This is the lowest voice level condition: the voice level decreases by – 50dB.
These changes must be considered for designing the external microphone amplifier.
TIP: example of external microphone amplifier calculation .
Let’s suppose to use the 1stdifferential microphone path .In this case the maximum differential input voltage to “Mic_MT” lines is 365mVrms(1,03Vpp) corresponding to
Now we can calculate the maximum voltage gain of an external microphone amplifier GA :
[(MicLevel + 20dB)+ GA ]= −8,76dBV [− 49,7 + 20 + GA ]= −8,76
−40,9 + 20 = −GA
GA = 20,94dB |
|
| you can set GA= +20dB to use standard resistor values . |
