11. Regarding the frequency ranges of interest here (cf. Table) for the purpose of computing the perturbations induced by the microphones on the acoustic radial modes of a quasispherical resonator for the determination of the Boltzmann constant, assuming that N=2 in expression of the acoustic input, impedance of a microphone (which is then greatly simplified) is enough to achieve the accuracy required here.
