| Number | Title | Description | Downloads |
|---|---|---|---|
| TB-02 | Receiver Testing: Maximum current modulation (MCM) |
Testing of DC-biased receivers for receiver response and distortion under real-life scenarios using a more accurate test method |
|
| TB-04 | Soldering transducer leads |
Recommended procedures and process parameters for prepping and soldering to Knowles Electronics transducers. Details on terminal construction, external leads, soldering iron, solder, flux, fixtures, and tools physical requirements are presented along with lead soldering and lead removal methods. |
|
| TB-06 | Effects of acoustical termination upon receiver response |
External tubing can greatly impact a receivers response curve. Varying the tubing length, varying the tubing diameter, using combinations of different tubing lengths/diameter, and adding acoustic dampers can all have a marked impact on receiver output. |
|
| TB-07 | Effects of source impedance upon receiver response |
The impedance of the signal source with respect to the receiver's impedance can affect the shape of the response curve. The impact of source impedance vs. receiver impedance matching is presented for constant current, constant voltage, and maximum available power drives. |
|
| TB-08 | Microphone and Balanced Armature Receiver Handling and Environmental Guidelines |
Protocols for transducer handling, holding fixtures, soldering, contaminants, ESD, temperature, humidity, radiation, and pressure changes are listed. Also, application guidelines and recommendations for shock and vibration, contaminants, ESD, temperature, humidity, radiation, and pressure are detailed. |
|
| TB-23 | Mounting application notes |
General transducer physical mounting suggestions for antishock mounting, soldering, and acoustic transmission are reviewed. |
