Ultrasonic Microphone USB - Ultrasound USB Measurement Microphone

Class 1 WS3F - Industrial Standard

iSV1611-Ultra

Ultrasonic Microphone USB
  • Class 1 WS3F acc. IEC 61094-4
  • Frequency range 5 Hz to 75 kHz
  • Free Field
  • Sound pressure level up to 158 dB
  • 35dBA to 158dB
  • Pre-polarized 

The 1/4” microphone cartridge MC14A is designed for ultrasound measurements up to 75 kHz in research and development and also for industrial use. Some applications include audiology, the measurement of building acoustics and noise levels. The microphone cartridge has a fixed layer of backelectret to supply the polarization voltage.

It is designed and very carefully constructed to ensure excellent long-time stability of the electroacoustical parameters. All essential components including the diaphragm are made of nickel and the diaphragm is bonded by a special galvanic process. 

The rear electrode is insulated from the cartridge housing by a quartz glass plate. The diaphragm is protected against mechanical damage by a protection grid. 

The equalization of the static air pressure between the inside and outside of the cartridge is by means of a capillary tube rear-vented into the preamplifier.

The cartridge uses the international standard thread 60 UNS which ensures compatibility with a wide range of calibration equipment and measurement devices available from many manufactures.

The measuring microphone cartridge MC14A is designed for sound level meters of IEC Type 1 according to IEC 61094-4

This presentation shows the flexibility of our iSV1611 USB measurement microphone.

By selecting different microphone capsules we can use it for infrasound or ultrasound applications.

The standard frequency bandwidth is 4 Hz to 20 kHz.
With the MK 222 E infrasound microphone capsule, measurements from 1 Hz are possible.

With the 1/2″ to 1/4″ adapter and the MK 301 E capsule, measurements from 5 Hz to 80 kHz are possible.

Using the MK 342 E capsule with a sensitivity of 0.25 mV/Pa, the iSV1611-HSPL-342 can measure high sound pressure levels up to 184 dB.
