A new publicly available dataset of microphone impulse responses (IRs) has been generated. The dataset covers 25 microphones, including a Class-1 measurement microphone and polar pattern variations for seven of the microphones. Microphones that were included had omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid, and bidirectional polar patterns; condenser, movingcoil, and ribbon transduction types; single and dual diaphragms; multiple body and head basket shapes; small and large diaphragms; and end-address and side-address designs. Using a customdeveloped computer-controlled precision turntable, IRs were captured quasi-anechoically at incident angles from 0 • to 355 • in steps of 5 • and at source-to-microphone distances of 0.5, 1.25, and 5 m. The resulting dataset is suitable for perceptual and objective studies related to the incident-angle-dependent response of microphones and for the development of tools for predicting and emulating on-axis and off-axis microphone characteristics. The captured IRs allow generation of frequency response plots with a degree of detail not commonly available in manufacturer-supplied data sheets and are also particularly well-suited to harmonic distortion analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
