Introduction and Description
The G.R.A.S. Outdoor Microphone System (Fig. 1.1) is for outdoor use whenever trouble-free
noise monitoring is required, e.g. around airports or in communities.
It complies with IEC 651 Type 1 and ANSI S1.4 1983 Type 1 requirements and can be used with
any suitable electronic sound or vibration measurement system. It is PTB approved as part of
an IEC 651 Type 1 system.
A ½-inch precision condenser microphone and thick-film preamplifier ensure maximum stability
and performance. Both microphone and casing are made of stainless steel.
Precise
in-situ
calibration checks at 1000 Hz are enabled any time via a built-in electrostatic
actuator and test oscillator.
