The separate Mini Microphone is a sensitive. wide-range
electret condenser microphone with a protective foam
cover (removable). Its frequency range is 20 to 9,000 KHz
and its cable is approximately 1.5 meter long. The 3.5
millimeter phone plug connects into the phone jack on the
top of the Sound Sensor.
The Mini Microphone allows the Sound Sensor to be used
with the PASCO WA-9894 Resonance Air Column with
Speaker. When the Mini Microphone is plugged into the
Sound Sensor, the sensor’s built-in microphone is turned
off.
The sensor has an “auto ID” feature when connected to a
PASCO 550 Universal Interface or 850 Universal Interface.
The PASCO data collection software automatically
recognizes the sensor if the sensor is connected to these
interfaces.
NOTE: The Sound Sensor can be used with the PASCO
750 ScienceWorkshop Interface or 500 ScienceWorkshop
Interface, but the “auto-ID” feature will not be active.
The Sound Sensor can be plugged directly into the PASCO
interface or can be connected to the interface with the
included 8-Pin DIN Extension Cable.
