*1 Value derived by applying a wind velocity of 2 m/sec. (6.6 ft./sec.) to the
microphone from all directions, and converting the mean value to the
equivalent input sound pressure level (0 dB = 2 × 10
–5
Pa)
*2 Value derived by taking the input level at which 1% waveform distortion
occurs with a 1-kHz microphone output signal, and converting it to the
equivalent input sound pressure level (0 dB = 2 × 10
–5
Pa).

microphone to clothing. Be careful not to cover the microphone head.
The double-clip microphone holder attaches two microphones to allow more
stable operation.
