" Microphone Type 4190 is an externally-polarized microphone for gen-
eral sound measurements and for standardized noise measurements in accordance
with the requirements of IEC651 Type 0 and Type 1. With its low inherent noise
and frequency range from 3.15Hz to 20kHz, it is very well suited for a wide range
of precision audio-frequency sound measurements.
The microphone requires a polarization voltage of 200V, provided by the instrument
or analyzer powering the associated preamplifier.
This rugged microphone is built to ensure high stability under a variety of condi-
tions. For example, the stainless steel alloy diaphragm withstands polluted industri-
al environments. The diaphragm clamping ring is firmly secured to ensure the
microphone’s reliability, even when the microphone is used without its protection
grid. When the microphone is used without its protection grid, it can be easily
flush-mounted or inserted into closed volumes as it can be supported by the dia-
phragm clamping ring, provided that a force of less than 5Newtons is applied.
The microphone is supplied with individual calibration data on a calibration chart
and on a 3
