Technical Specifications

Our 1663 cardioid microphone head features a gold-plated copper ring material, offering high fidelity, high signal-to-noise ratio, and low noise.

Standard Test Circuit

RL = 680Ω, Vs = 1.5V, C = 1μF

Typical Frequency Response

The frequency response shows slight fluctuation below 1kHz, followed by a pronounced boost from 1kHz to 10kHz, with the most significant rise between 4kHz and 10kHz. A sharp roll-off begins after 10kHz.

Dimensions (UNIT: mm)

Appearance Dimension

Φ16 × 6.3 mm capsule with a rear acoustic port.

Packaging Overview

Standard packaging: 100 pcs per small box.
10 small boxes (1,000 pcs) are combined into one medium carton.
Several medium cartons are further packed into a large outer carton.
Pin-type microphones are protected with foam inside the small box.
Other types are packed directly or sealed in anti-static bags.

Reliability Tests

High Temperature Test: Microphone subjected to +80℃ for 100 hours, followed by 3 hours at room temperature.

Low Temperature Test: Microphone subjected to -40℃ for 100 hours, followed by 3 hours at room temperature.

Humidity & Heat Test: Microphone exposed to +55℃ and 85% relative humidity for 100 hours, followed by 3 hours at room temperature.

Thermal Shocking Test: Microphone subjected to [+80℃ 0.5H → room temp 1H → -40℃ 0.5H → room temp 1H] for 10 cycles, then exposed to room temperature for 3 hours.

Vibration Test: Microphone subjected to two hours of vibration in x, y, and z directions with frequencies of 10-55Hz and a 1.52mm amplitude.

Drop Test: Microphone dropped 5 times from a height of 1.0 meter onto a slippery marble floor, without packaging, and still performs normally.

Storage and Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for environments ranging from -35℃ to +60℃.
