Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
Type 4957 is a miniature array microphone for beamforming, acoustic holography and STSF, as well as simultaneous recording across many channels.
Free-field response is specified at ±2 dB from 100 Hz to 5 kHz, and ±3 dB from 50 Hz to 10 kHz, relative to 250 Hz.
It includes a CCLD DeltaTron preamplifier and a detachable SMB cable. The same coaxial cable carries the signal, power and TEDS data.
Array calculations use phase differences between microphones. Type 4957 has specified phase matching against a factory reference, alongside its individual calibration data.
No. It is prepolarized. Its internal preamplifier requires CCLD power with an appropriate input and cable.
The manufacturer specifies an upper limit of 134 dB SPL with total harmonic distortion below 3%. This is a specification under the stated measurement conditions.
