Can anyone advise if professional grade condenser microphones (cable not wireless) are required to comply with EMC emission requirements in Europe and the USA considering they typically do not contain any clock or oscillators etc.
For Europe at least, I suspect many companies test to EN 55103-1. Even though these devices do typically incorporate a linear amplifier that contains, what may be termed by some, "active" components there are still no clocks or oscillators. Would it be fair to assume therefore, that for these devices, because they do not include any clocks or oscillators, the emission testing is not necessary.
