Electret microphones are well-suited for noise-canceling applications like computer voice recognition because they are bidirectionally sensitive and can produce a flat frequency response unaffected by environmental factors. While absolute sensitivity may vary slightly, relative voice frequencies are more important for recognition. To interface successfully, signal-to-noise ratios must be maximized by reducing electrical and acoustical noise, which electret microphones can do with their high output, built-in ratio, and optimized near-field design.

Electrets bidirectional sensitivity satisfies noise-canceling needs involved.

And microphone response should be as flat as possible and not vary with time or changes in temperature or humidity. However, absolute sensitivity may vary slightly with changing environmental factors because only the relative amplitudes of the voice frequencies determine voice input recognition. To successfully interface with a computer voice terminal, you must maximize signal-to-noise ratios. Any combination of electrical or acoustical noise can mask the wanted information and produce an erroneous input. Electret microphone elements can minimize the effects of both noise forms. First, despite its small size, an electret produces a greater electrical output for a given acoustical input than any other type of microphone. In essence, it exhibits a built-in high signal-to-noise ratio. Second, properly designed electret microphones exhibit a high near-field-to-far-field crossover frequency. Maximizing this parameter increases lowfrequency noise cancelation because the far-field sensitivity decreases at 6 d/B /octave.
