Comparison of ultrasonic microphones
In the following we present a comparative measurement of the 1/4-inch ultrasonic microphones RG-50 and MM310.
The measurement is made with a 2-channel high-performance RME ADI-2/4 PRO SE transducer and the two-channel IEPE power supply type MC102A.
The NVH FFT analysis software controls the RME high-performance transducer via the ASIO interface with a sampling rate of 384 kHz and is calibrated with a microphone calibrator before the measurement.
The compressed air from a compressor is used as the ultrasonic sound source.
