The key components that determines the accuracy of a sound level meter is the measurement microphone and its associated preamplifier. The effectiveness of these components in converting the acoustic signal into an electrical analogue set the maximum accuracy that can be achieved by the ensuing signal processing. Norsonic have a carefully balanced range of measurement microphones to suite a range of applications that complement modern instrumentation yet maintain traditional values.
We offer a broad range of 1/2″ and 1/4″ microphone preamplifiers.
(Data given with 3mA supply current)
The preamplifier has to be supplied by a constant current in the range 3 – 20 mA.
The output voltage will be a fixed DC (about 10 volt) plus the AC-coupled input voltage. Output AC-voltage swing is minimum +/-5 volt if not limited by the voltage for the current source.
