Technical Specifications

Our 2573 unidirectional large-diaphragm condenser microphone head offers a high signal-to-noise ratio, low noise, high fidelity, strong directivity, and excellent interference resistance, ensuring premium audio quality and reliable performance.

Standard Test Circuit

Test conditions: RL = 15kΩ, Vs = 2V, C = 1μF

Typical Frequency Response

Frequency response covers 50Hz to 20kHz with a strong overall rise. The response increases noticeably in the low end (50–200Hz), then levels out slightly before another significant boost begins around 2kHz. A peak occurs near 5kHz, followed by a rapid high-frequency roll-off.

Dimensions (UNIT: mm)

Appearance Dimension

The capsule measures 25mm in diameter and 7.3mm in height. The rear side features five acoustic ports, each covered with a damping mesh to enhance stability and reduce unwanted resonances.

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℃.
