Bmic

 

 
 

The Bmic (pronounc

ed “Bee mike“) is an easy-to-use, low cost, electronic listening stick and 

ground microphone combined.   It is ideal for general leak sound-ing operations  and can be 
fitted with either a tripod foot (for use as a ground microphone) or probe rods (for sounding at 
fittings or in soft ground). 

 
 

The  control  unit  is 

a  “trigger”  operation  and  a  volume/sensitivity  rotary  control.    An  LED 

indicates  operation  and  battery  status.  It  can  be  used  to  confirm  the  position  of 
underground  leaks  audibly  from  ground  level;  sound  pipe  fittings;  penetrate  soft  ground  to 
listen for leaks or carry out traditional acoustic surveys.
