Basic FAQ for FFT Analyzer
Question number FAQ-0772
I want to directly read the voltage signals from the sound level meter and microphone in dB (sound pressure level, Lp).
In sound measurement, due to factors such as the sensitivity value of the microphone, the gain of the preamp (insertion loss), and the gain of the microphone amplifier, as well as the fact that the reference value is not 1EU (the reference sound pressure level is 20μPa), the FFT analyzer is usually calibrated using calibration signals (AC signals) from an acoustic calibrator. That is, the AC signal corresponding to the specified sound pressure level generated by the acoustic calibrator (usually a sine wave) is read for its voltage level value by the FFT analyzer, and by converting that value to the specified sound pressure level value, any peak value or overall value of the power spectrum can be directly read in sound pressure level (unit: dB).
