Externally Polarized Precision Condenser Microphones & Preamplifiers
Externally polarized microphones set the initial standard for all acoustic test and measurement applications. They rely on a dedicated 200V power supply and specialized cables with 7-pin LEMO® connectors. Their straightforward design supports a wide product range. Often chosen as replacements for existing models or when prepolarized alternatives are unavailable.

Building Acoustics
Measurements to evaluate and improve Building Acoustics are typically made to analyze and design noise control from room to room, or from outside to inside. Noise sources such as music systems, televisions, appliances, traffic, aircraft, and manufacturing are all around us. The field of Building Acoustics evaluates and designs the materials and methods to insulate and isolate us all from these sound sources when we are at work, rest, or enjoying leisure time. The resulting data is useful for evaluating compliance with building codes and for proposing countermeasures for areas of concern. These measurements often involve creating and measuring an artificial sound source, and then measuring the resulting noise in receiver locations.

Cryogenic ICP® Accelerometers
Cryogenic ICP® accelerometers are specifically designed to operate at temperatures below the typical -65 ºF (-54 ºC) temperature limit of most voltage mode sensors. The use of specialized, built-in, cryogenic circuitry and quartz shear sensing technology promote survivability in demanding environments such as liquid nitrogen. Each sensor is hermetically sealed and individually tested to determine the thermal coefficient of sensitivity at -320 ºF (-196 ºC) ensuring reliable operation and accurate measurements. These sensors have been successfully used in the presence of liquid helium during structural testing of rocket boosters.

Dual-Mode Charge Amplifiers
Dual-mode charge amplifiers represent a versatile solution for both piezoelectric charge mode and ICP® sensors. Among the advanced features offered by models 443B01, 443B02 and 2775C are an ultra-low noise floor, sensor fault detection, overload detection, a built-in calibration reference signal, and an RS-232 port for seamless computer control. Notably, model 443B02 features a long discharge time constant selection, ideal for capturing quasi-static events lasting several seconds, a capability particularly beneficial for ballistics and ammunition testing applications. Model 2775C features AC, DC, and servo outputs.
