MPA416 1/4-inch Free-field Microphone

    MPA416 is 1/4-inch high sensitivity free-field microphone developed by BSWA and suitable for measurement in free-field and semi free-field without reflection. It is prepolarized microphone without external polarization voltage, and equipped with built-in ICCP power supply preamplifier.

MPA416 is front-vent with a frequency range of 20 Hz ~ 20 kHz. It is widely used in impedance tube, acoustic array, electroacoustic and common acoustic measurements, especially for applications which need a large number of microphones with critical cost requirements.

BSWA can perform phase-matching of microphones before delivery for the users who have phase requirements. If the phase is not required when ordering, the microphone phase will not be tested and matched.

Moreover, the microphone type with TEDS function is MPA466 which performance as same as the MPA416. The TEDS function support data acquisition equipment to read microphone information directly, including microphone model, serial number, sensitivity, etc. BSWA microphone supports the IEEE 1451.4 standard. The v0.9 version is used by default to be compatible with more data acquisition equipment. The v1.0 version can also be selected according to user requirements.

    Each MPA416 is supplied with an individual calibration data chart including sensitivity, frequency response and so on.
