Low Noise Microphone

MMS 214

Low noise microphone MMS 214 has a particularly low inherent noise level and is designed for acoustic measurements of low sound pressure levels close to the threshold of human hearing. 

The electrical connection is via a BNC cable to devices with IEPE supply. 

The microphone preamplifier internally generates the polarization voltage for the externally polarized microphone capsule. 

The measurement microphone is equipped with a build-in memory for microphone identification (TEDS acc. IEEE 1451).

  • Sensitivity: 320 mV/Pa
  • Free-field
  • 2 Hz to 20 kHz
  • 6.5 dBA to 104 dB
  • IEPE (BNC)
  • Microphone power supply: IEPE
  • Class 1 – WS2F – IEC 61094-4
  • TEDS acc IEEE 1451

Low Noise Measurement Microphone with DASYLab Add-On Module

In today’s demonstration, we will illustrate the process of conducting calibrated acoustic measurements with the MMS 214 High Sensitivity Measurement Microphone, the Plug.n.DAQ Lite, and DASYLab.

To achieve optimal precision, we utilize a class 1 microphone calibrator 4010.
