Microphone spec levels, generation, and calibration #15
Comments
See #16 |
2. Thanks for the consideration! 3. Nix this comment. Good feedback, entirely dependent on user and their setup. Per the VU meter, I'll comment over on #16 4. Sorry auto formatting and retyping sections in markdown is messy, I believe I typed this on my phone. 5. No additional comments! |

The OHIS spec calls out
The Microphone signal is a typical electret microphone signal: -45dBV +/- 3dbV into 600 to 1k ohm
Then goes on to describe the amplification needed for a dynamic mic
I wonder if later in the spec you could outline the intent and methods for achieving those levels, for example the reference circuitry.
Are these dBV measurements measured as Peak voltage or RMS?
Do you have any feedback on how to reliably generate audio into the mic to verify those levels? Or would you ultimately expect the end user to verify audio levels with signal reports and adjusting mic gain settings?
I think I noticed a mic level adjust pot on the Halibut user adapter product. I was curious how a "OHIS compliant/calibrated mic setup might vary from user to user based on talking loudness and mic handling (distance from mic, etc)
Then an end user could use a VU meter (even a few leds or an led bar segment, similar to an audio compressor meter) could help provide visual feedback that mic levels are appropriate for their hardware and talking style
