MICROPHONES AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
I
GENERAL
This microphone is designed especially for use in com-
puter voice recognition applications. It is also suitable
for other uses such as paging, talkback, and other
communication-type applications where excellent voice
fidelity and reduction of background noises are needed.
DATA SHEET
MODEL VR300
A
The frequency response istailored to producean essen-
tially constant output voltage over the voice spectrum
when used close to the sound source. The transducer is
a low-impedance, moving coil type with integral hum-
bucking coil.
m
The microphone case is aluminum with a black enam-
eled finish. It has a standard 5/a"-27thread suitable for
mounting on a flexible gooseneck, fixed pipe, or micro-
phone stand. The unit is supplied with an attached
two-conductor shielded cable with a built-in strain
relief.

OPERATION
To obtain the best performance with the VR300, the
microphone must be used in a close-talking manner.
Type
The lips should be as close to the microphone grille as
--Dynamic,Unidirectional (cardioid),Close-Talking comfort permits,with adistance of 1to5cm(0.4to2 in.)
Frequency Response
100 to 7,000 Hz (see Figure 1) providing the greatest discrimination between voice
and background noise.

ACOUSTIC CONSIDERATIONS
The close-talking characteristics of the VR300
Microphoneare obtained through itstailored frequency
response, directionality, and distance discrimination.
The acoustical elements are designed to optimize per-
formance inthe frequency rangeof I00to7,000 Hz. This
results in substantial reduction of sounds outside the
desired range and proper control of sounds within the
desired range.The microphone rejects noise through its
inherenl
against
favor of
: directional properties, and it discriminates
unwanted sounds arriving from a distance in
sounds arriving from a near source.
