MPR446 Rugged Microphone

MPR446 pressure-field rugged microphone is developed by BSWA, suitable for measurement in moving objects such as vehicles. It is prepolarized microphone without external polarization voltage, and equipped with built-in ICCP power supply preamplifier (optional TEDS).

 

MPR446 is front-vent and can measure the sound pressure level up to 140 dB. Each MPR446 passed a high sound pressure test before leaving the factory to verify its total distortion 3% when the rated maximum sound pressure level is reached.

MPR446 has rugged stainless-steel shell thus suitable for harsh environment measurement. It can be fixed in the test area by means of adhesive or special magnetic seat. It can be applied for noise test of automobile engine compartment, wheel rail and other parts that may produce strong vibration.

 

Moreover, the optional 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 MPR446 is supplied with an individual calibration data chart including sensitivity, frequency response and so on.
