Abstract

An improved analysis for the electrically manifested nonlinear distortions in condenser microphones is presented. The analysis shows that in typical condenser microphones excited by multisinusoidal sound signals, the second-order intermodulation components of frequencies ω_r±ω_s will be dominant. This result suggests that, rather than using the total harmonic distortion (THD), the use of the standard two- or three-tone tests for measurement of the nonlinear performance of condenser microphones would be more reliable and sensible.
