![What is the signal-to-noise ratio of a microphone?]()
What is the signal-to-noise ratio of a microphone?The Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of a microphone measures the ratio between the desired audio signal and the undesired background noise inherent in the microphone. Essentially, it quantifies how much clearer the desired sound is compared to the background noise. It's typically expressed in decibels (dB). In the context of microphones, SNR often refers to the difference between the microphone's sensitivity and its self-noise or equivalent noise level.

A Comprehensive Guide to Evaluating Wireless Microphone Quality: Key Parameters You Should Know
When evaluating wireless microphones, especially from an audio equipment engineering perspective, there are several indicators and parameters that need to be considered to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and user satisfaction. Here are some important indicators and parameters to consider:
1. Frequency Range and Response: This indicates the range of audio frequencies the microphone can pick up. Ideally, a wireless microphone should have a frequency response that captures the entire human voice range (roughly 80Hz to 18kHz) and beyond, depending on the application.
2. Transmission Range: This indicates how far the microphone can be from the receiver and still maintain a reliable connection. For most events, a range of at least 100 meters is preferred.
3. RF (Radio Frequency) Stability: This assesses how immune the system is to interference and dropouts. Consider factors like frequency agility and diversity reception.
Typical Value: Varies based on regulation but common bands include UHF (470 MHz to 900 MHz) and 2.4 GHz.
4. Dynamic Range: This measures the difference between the softest and loudest sounds the microphone can capture without distortion. A larger dynamic range indicates better performance.
Typical Value: 85 dB to 110 dB.
5. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR): A higher SNR means that the microphone produces a cleaner sound with less background noise.
Typical Value: Higher than 95 dB for a quality microphone.
6. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): Ideally, this should be as low as possible. It measures how much the signal is distorted when compared to the original source.
Parameter: Measure of non-linearities in the audio signal pathway.
Typical Value: Below 0.5% for quality systems.
7. Battery Life: As these are wireless devices, their operating time on a single charge or set of batteries is crucial for uninterrupted performance.
Typical Value: 10 Hours
8. Latency: This refers to the time delay between the sound being captured by the microphone and it being output from the receiver. For live performances, lower latency is essential.
Typical Value: Less than 20 ms
9. Form Factor and Build Quality: Depending on the intended use (lavalier, handheld, headset, etc.), the physical design and durability of the microphone and transmitter are crucial.
10. Connectivity Options: Examine what types of outputs the receiver offers (XLR, 1/4" jack, etc.) and whether it provides features like phantom power for condenser mics.
11. Number of Channels: If you're setting up multiple microphones in one location, having multiple channels that can operate simultaneously without interference is critical.
12. Automatic Frequency Scanning: Some advanced wireless microphone systems can automatically scan and select the best frequency to avoid interference.
