Stetron employs a 3D approach to product development. Each project starts with the DEFINE stage, moves into the DEVELOP stage and ends with the DELIVER stage.

SPL is typically measured using decibels (dB), which are derived by considering the ratio of a given pressure with some reference pressure.

Testing an electret condenser microphone for acoustic parameters consists of a sound source, test and measurement software and a means for displaying the results.

An omnidirectional electret condenser microphone is one in which only one side of the diaphragm responds to changes in sound pressure.

Operation of an Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM) As we discussed in our last blog Anatomy of an Electret Condenser Microphone, the basic structure of an Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM) is a pair of parallel plates, one of which is a moveable diaphragm, and another is a fixed back plate. A special layer of material called … Continue reading “Operation of an Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM)”

What is a Waterproof Microphone A waterproof microphone is a microphone that could work normally in a certain water environment. Waterproof microphones must meet a set of standards, called IPX, to be classified as waterproof microphones. For example, a waterproof microphone can be rated to IPX7 or IPX8. An IPX7 rating means that a Waterproof … Continue reading “Audio Dictionary: What is a Waterproof Microphone?”

Microphones are transducers. Electret Condenser Microphones (ECMs) have both moving and stationary parts. Each part of an Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM) plays a significant role. Simply put microphones are transducers. As a transducer a microphone converts acoustic energy into electric energy. This is quite the opposite of a loudspeaker driver which converts electric energy into acoustic energy. … Continue reading “Anatomy of an Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM)”

The microphone is intrinsically sealed and features a wide sensitivity range and frequency response as well as High SNR.
