Outdoor Microphone

Outdoor microphones are used for outdoor acoustic measurements or monitoring of tissue and traffic noise.

ROGA outdoor microphones are equipped with a windscreen, a rain cover and a bird deflector to protect them from such and other weather influences.

The outdoor microphone can be calibrated with a sound calibrator eg CA111 by carefully removing the windscreen and rainscreen.

The MI21 microphone is designed to be splash-proof so that it can be used for measurement campaigns in wet or damp weather. A water-repellent seal on the membrane at the sound inlet prevents the electret capsule from being damaged by water.
 
The IEPE microphones with splash water protection, including MI17SW and RG-50SW, have proven their worth with brake manufacturers, among others, who mount the measurement microphone in the wheel arch in order to record disruptive brake noises.
 
IEPE microphone for all applications in standard industrial environments. Suitable for all noise measurements above 26 dB(A) up to 130 dB.

MI19SW

IP55 Microphone Water resistant microphone dust resistant microphone IEPE microphone

IP55 splash water resistant

The 19SW microphone has been designed to be IP55 splash water resistant.

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.

The MI19 microphones are equipped with a BNC socket so that standard BNC cables can be used.

A TNC plug version is also available on request.

MP30-R Set

Outdoor IEPE Microphone

Weatherproof IEPE Microphone

The sound entrance at a 90º angle to the microphone axis is ideal for monitoring ambient and traffic noise.

MP30-R is a 1/2-inch pre-polarized condenser outdoor microphone.

It is suitable for continuous use in rainy days or in a very high or very low temperature environment.

MP30-R uses a WS2F and IEC 61672 Class 1 MP30 microphone, which is characterized by its stability.

It is the best choice for long-term outdoor use, such as noise monitoring.

iSV1611-R

Outdoor Microphone

Weatherproof USB Microphone

The USB microphone model iSV1611-R is a digital microphone with USB interface, consisting of pre-polarized ½” electret microphone capsule, preamplifier, 2 channel (Stereo) ADC and USB interface, which can be used with apps on smartphone, tablet or PC.

PC, smartphone, or tablet receive the digitized 2 channel signal data via USB cable connected to iSV1611. 

The dual channel operation allows simultaneous measuring in the 16 -100 dB(A) and 56 – 140 dB(A) range.

The iSV1611-R USB microphone is equipped with the MR40 microphone rain cover.

MR10

Outdoor Measurement Microphone

Weatherproof IEPE Microphone

MR10 is a weatherproof microphone unit consisting of a 1/4″ IEPE measurement microphone MI19SW and the rain protection unit for outdoor use.

It is suitable for continuous use on rainy days or in an environment with very high or very low temperatures.

MR10 uses a WS3F and IEC 61094-5 Class 1 MI19 microphone, which is characterized by its stability.

It is a favorable choice for long-term outdoor use, e.g. for noise monitoring.

Reference direction of sound incidence 90° to the microphone axis

  • Sensitivity 50 mV/Pa
