Array Microphones

130 Series Prepolarized ICP® Array microphones are a cost-effective alternative to precision 377 Series microphones and are suitable for measuring sound within the normal range of the human hearing capability. 130 series of array microphones are single piece units with a built-in preamplifier, and are used in a wide range of applications including holography, sound pressure mapping, noise source identification, beamforming, and other large channel count acoustic tests.

130E20

  • 0.25" diameter
  • 30-122 dB dynamic range
  • 0 V polarization
  • 45 mV/Pa sensitivity
  • 20-10 kHz frequency range (±2dB), see full specs for more detail
  • Full specs from manufacturer

Rental Includes

  • Calibration - NIST traceable and ISO 17025/A2LA accredited calibration of microphone and preamplifier pair (TMS: MCS-1 or PCB: ACS-21).

Surface Microphones

Recommended for measuring surface pressure and noise measurements in environments where wind is prevalent including wind tunnels, automotive and aircraft wind noise, brake and tire noise, environmental CAT, and more. The flexible design includes a water and dust resistant mesh grid cap, built in preamplifier, and an extremely low profile height.
