Using the Rmic
To prepare the Rmic for use follow the instructions for the Gmic
The Rmic uses the same control unit as the Gmic and uses the same headphones
(and options). The advantage of the Rmic over Gmic is evident when there is a need
for the microphone sensor to be acoustically shielded from the surrounding
environment – either ambient noise or bad weather such as rain or wind. The Rmic
is especially suited for use on roads (hence Rmic – Road Microphone) where it can
be used to detect the position of leak noise under the surface.
For information on the control unit see the Gmic control unit section of this manual
and for general acoustic leak detection information see the guidance section towards
the beginning of this manual.
