IEPE Production Microphone - Industrial Standard Class 1 according to IEC 61672

The calibrated MI19 microphone is suitable for all technical acoustic measurements, such as recording machine noise, sound measurements on test benches, in production, end-of-line testing, use in impedance tubes, noise measurements, and use as an acoustic camera.

The IEPE microphones MI19 and MI19SW belong to the category of free-field microphones with integrated electronics and are widely used in industrial acoustics and scientific research.

The MI19SW version is splash-proof according to IP55 and is suitable for temporary outdoor use. Coaxial cables are used for connection, and the microphone is equipped with BNC connectors as standard; TNC versions are also available. The microphone can be used with any device that has a power supply compatible with the IEPE standard.

High temperature microphone, water- and dust-resistant up to 302°F - 150°C

A new dust- and heat-resistant IEPE microphone for sound measurements in very hot environments.
 
The housing of the microphone is made entirely of stainless steel; the sound inlet features a stainless steel mesh that repels dust particles and water.
 
The internal electronics and microphone capsule are heat-resistant up to temperatures exceeding 302°F – 150°C and meet Class 1 tolerance limits (WS3F and IEC 61672).
 
The SWHT series microphones are equipped with a BNC connector, allowing the use of standard BNC-to-BNC cables.
 
This 1/4-inch measurement microphone can be calibrated using the 4010 or CA111 sound calibrators, as well as other suitable sound pressure calibrators.
 
The MI microphone series features a compact housing and is designed for extreme operating conditions.

MI19SW

Measurement Microphone
Sound inlet opening with fine-mesh stainless steel mesh as a barrier against dust, water, and EMC interference.

Dust and splash water resistant IP55

The SW version has a dust- and water-repellent stainless steel acoustic mesh at the sound inlet, which is resistant to dust particles larger than 20 µm.

The microphone is therefore suitable for use in measurement campaigns in wet and damp weather conditions.

An IP55 water-repellent seal on the membrane at the sound inlet prevents potential damage to the electret capsule caused by water.

The IEPE microphone is suitable for use in standard industrial environments and for all noise measurements with a sound pressure level of up to 130 dB.

Calibration is possible with a commercially available microphone calibrator and a 1/2″ to 1/4″ adapter.

High Sensitivity Production Line Microphone - 100 mV/Pa - Range 22 dB(A) to 130 dBPeak

MI19-HS

Twenty times higher output voltage of 100 mV/Pa at 22 dB(A) self-noise is delivered by the MI19-HS measurement microphone compared to 1/4″ microphones with pre-polarized microphone capsule.
 
1/4″ measurement microphones with a pre-polarized capsule deliver a voltage of 3 to 5 mV/Pa and have a self-noise of around 35 dB(A).
 
The high signal-to-noise ratio and the high sensor sensitivity of the MI19-HS have an optimizing effect on the level of the measurement data acquisition and thus lead to better measurement results.
