According to GRAS Sound & Vibration, now part of test and measurement holding Axiometrix Solutions, which also includes Audio Precision, the consistency of EQset fixed sensitivity and flat curve reduces measurement uncertainty and greatly simplifies measurement microphone setup, monitoring, replacement, and corrections, without any individual microphone adjustments or corrections. The simplification of setup and other tasks saves time, both in the setup itself and operator training time.
There is, however one additional benefit that outshines the time savings: EQset all but eliminates the inherent risk of false passes on production lines or correction error for frequencies outside the calibrated frequency in R&D — common issues with other microphones in the market.
Another benefit of the uniformly fixed sensitivity and flat response curve of each EQset microphone is that because there is no need to make individual corrections for each measurement microphone, there is, therefore, no need to store that correction information on the microphones via TEDS. This enables EQset microphones to be used effectively with systems based on audio sound cards using 48V phantom power as well as any CCP-based system already in use, so there is no need for price-prohibitive new equipment or retooling of existing CCP-based systems.
