MPA436A 1/4-inch Free-field Microphone

Introduction

MPA436A is the new 1/4-inch 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 (optional TEDS).

MPA436A is front-vent and can measure the sound pressure level up to 140 dB in the frequency range of 20 Hz ~ 10 kHz (±2 dB) and 10 kHz ~ 20 kHz (±3 dB). Each MPA436A 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.

MPA436A is suitable for applications which need a large number of microphones with critical cost requirements, such as array applications including near-field acoustic holography (NAH), beamforming, etc. MPA436A can not only control the overall cost of the array, but also meet the basic requirements of sensitivity and phase-matching. 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 MPA436A is supplied with an individual calibration data chart including sensitivity, frequency response and so on.
