Mic Sensitivity mV/Pa
Convert microphone sensitivity from dBV per pascal to millivolts per pascal as mvPerPa = 10^(sensitivityDbV / 20) * 1000, referenced to 1 V/Pa.
Description
Convert microphone sensitivity from dBV per pascal to millivolts per pascal as mvPerPa = 10^(sensitivityDbV / 20) * 1000, referenced to 1 V/Pa.
Mic Sensitivity mV/Pa: Convert microphone sensitivity from dBV per pascal to millivolts per pascal as mvPerPa = 10^(sensitivityDbV / 20) * 1000, referenced to 1 V/Pa.
When to use Mic Sensitivity mV/Pa
Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.
- Sensitivity (dBV/Pa)
- Sensitivity in decibels relative to 1 V/Pa.
How Mic Sensitivity mV/Pa works
Convert microphone sensitivity from dBV per pascal to millivolts per pascal as mvPerPa = 10^(sensitivityDbV / 20) * 1000, referenced to 1 V/Pa. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Sensitivity (mV/Pa)
- Output voltage per pascal of acoustic pressure.
Limitations and assumptions
- Microphone sensitivity, SPL limit, directivity, and phantom-power calculations depend on frequency, load, reference pressure, weighting, polar pattern, preamplifier noise, distortion criterion, supply circuit, and acoustic environment.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
