Description
GRAS 40BD-FV 1/4" Prepolarized Pressure Microphone, Front Vented
Introduction
The 40BD-FV is an IEC 61094 WS3P ¼" prepolarized pressure microphone with front venting. Read about the externally polarized equivalent [ GRAS 40BP-FV]It is a high-precision condenser microphone made according to IEC 61094-4 requirements. Its low sensitivity makes it ideal for sound measurements at high frequencies and high sound pressure levels of up to 174 dB. Its small size reduces the effects of diffraction and reflections around the microphone, resulting in a frequency range that extends up to 70 kHz.
40BD-FV is individually factory-calibrated and delivered with a calibration chart stating its specific open-circuit sensitivity and pressure frequency response.
Typical applications and use
The 40BD-FV is ideal for sound pressure measurements, as well as high frequency and high level pressure measurements. It is suitable for general purpose acoustic measurements in couplers and at boundaries. 40BD-FV is included in the GRAS 46BD-FV ¼" Pressure microphone set.Compatibility
The 40BD-FV requires a standardized ½" or ¼" CCP preamplifier and an input module that supports this technology with a BNC, SMB, or Microdot connector.System verification
For daily verification and check of your measurement setup, we recommend using a calibrator like GRAS Sound Level Calibrator 42AG.For proper sensitivity calibration, we recommend using a pistonphone like GRAS Intelligent Pistonphone 42AP.
Quality and warranty
All GRAS microphones are made of high-quality materials that will ensure life-long stability and robustness. The microphones are all assembled in verified clean-room environments by skilled and dedicated operators with many years of expertise in this field.The microphone diaphragm, body, and improved protection grid are made of high-grade stainless steel, which makes the microphone resistant to physical damage, as well as corrosion caused by aggressive air or gasses.
This, combined with the reinforced gold-plated microphone terminal which guarantees a highly reliable connection, enables GRAS to offer 5 years warranty against defective materials and workmanship.
Service
If you accidentally damage the diaphragm on a GRAS microphone, we can—in most cases—replace it at a very reasonable cost and with a short turn-around time. This not only protects your investment, but also pleases your quality assurance department because you don't have to worry about new serial numbers, etc.Calibration
Before leaving the factory, all GRAS microphones are calibrated in a controlled laboratory environment using traceable calibration equipment.Depending on the use, measurement environment, and internal quality control programs, we recommend recalibrating the microphone at least once a year.
