Abstract

To correct for non-linearities in the response of a microphone as a function of sound pressure level incident upon the microphone, a displacement non-linearity function is applied to the signal path of the microphone, wherein the displacement non-linearity function is a function of the digital audio output signal and has a response modeling non-linearities of the displacement as a function of a sound pressure level incident upon the microphone.
