Product Information

The GRAS 40HH 1/2" Lownoise Microphone System can measure sound pressure levels down to close to the threshold of human hearing; and is amply suitable for use in sound-power measurements on even very quiet products. Its very wide dynamic range permits measurements down to 6.5 dB re. 20 μPa (in 1/3-octave bands) from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Technology

Typical applications and use

  • Very Low Sound pressure measurements
  • Low noise product measurements
  • Sound power measurements at low sound pressure levels
  • Measurements on hard-disk drives, computerproducts, quiet rooms etc.

The 40HH comprises:

  • a special high-sensitive 1/2" GRAS 40AH Condenser Microphone
  • a special 1/2" GRAS 26HH Lownoise Preamplifier

The preamplifier and microphone are an individually matched combination. To complete the system, a special single or 10-channel power module is required and is available, i.e. GRAS 12HF for single-channel measurements or GRAS 12HM for multi-channel measurements.

The chosen power module provides all necessary voltages for powering the preamplifier(s) as well as polarizing the microphone(s).

Preamplifier

The GRAS 26HH Preamplifier has a built-in overload indicator (which is repeated on the chosen power supply) and a frequency correction facility for both pressure-microphone operation as well as free field microphone operation.

Microphone

The GRAS 40AH Microphone is an externally polarized microphone with a specially reduced inherent noise floor in order to achieve a high dynamic range and wide frequency range. Its diaphragm is specially tuned to yield high sensitivity coupled with low internal-noise generation.

Frequency Response and Noise Floor

The chosen power supply has a two-position switch for selecting which microphone operation to use, i.e.pressure or free-field. A typical free-field response for an angle of incidence of 0° is shown in the data sheet when GRAS 40HH is switched to free-field operation. Also shown is a complete low-noise measuring system, a typical noise floor in 1/3-octave bands for both the linear and A-weighted cases.
