Here you will find two ultrasonic microphone systems for the highest demands, which have been developed for research and development to fulfil Class 1 industry standards. Both systems are supplied with NVH FFT analysis software, which outputs the measured values with level accuracy in physical units as a time signal or FFT in ASCII or CSV format.
RME MP30-Ultra
ADI-2/4 Pro SE
High-Performance Converter
Frequency response: @ 768 kHz, -1 dB: 0.15 Hz – 348 kHz
Based on many years of continued feature development of the ADI-2 Pro, RME unveils the next addition to the countless award winning ADI-2 Series. The latest masterpiece comes with a newly developed circuit board, improved specs and faster DSP for an outstanding transparent sound signature, extreme power headphone amplifiers including IEM power setting, super low noise 4.4 mm Pentaconn balanced connection, trigger out function for powering on/off external devices.

Comparison of ultrasonic microphones
We are going to present a comparative measurement of the 1/4″ ultrasonic microphones RG-50 and MP30-Ultra.
The measurement is carried out with a 2-channel high-performance RME ADI-2/4 PRO SE transducer and two IEPE power supplies type 8201T.
The NVH FFT analysis software controls the RME high-performance device 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.
Ultrasonic microphone capsule MK 301 E is designed for acoustic measurements in research, development and industry and is also used in building acoustics and audiometry, among other things.
The measuring microphone capsule MK 301 is suitable for class 1 sound level meters according to IEC 61672.
