• 230foranACmains/linepowersupplyofnominally230VAC,or
• 115foranACmains/linepowersupplyofnominally115VAC
Checkalsothatthecorrectfuseisinplaceandnotblown(seeFig.2.4).
3.2 Calibration
3.2.1 Based on Channel Sensitivity
SincethemicrophonesignalisampliedinthePreamplierby20dB,thenominalsensitivityat
theoutputofthechannelinquestioncorrespondsto:
• 1.1V/Pawiththe1-inchpreamplierandmicrophone,or
• 0.9V/Pawiththe½-inchpreamplierandmicrophone
Correspondingly(ifLevel AdjustisswithchedOff-seeFig.2.2),whenthemeasuredRMS
outputvoltagefromthechannelis1.1Vor0.9V,themicrophoneinquestionisbeingsubjected
to94dBre.20μPa.
Basedonthisinformation,proceedasfollows:
1. Connectthechanneloutputtotheanalyzertobeusedandswitchbothunitson.
2. Adjusttheanalyzertoindicate94dBre.20μPaforanRMSinputofSvolts;whereSis the
