| <p><strong>Note</strong>: The second reference circuit above illustrates how the actual resistor values |
| (R1 - R4) will change based on the microphone capsule resistance to achieve the |
| equivalent impedance values as required by the specification. The example above |
| assumes a 5 kOhm microphone impedance. Therefore, as an example, to achieve an |
| equivalent R4 impedance of 135 Ohm, the actual R4 resistor value needs to be |
| 139 Ohms.</p> |
