Model 831 Manual Frequency Response A-57
Model PRM831
The Larson Davis PRM831 is an electret microphone preamplifier for use with a Larson Davis Model
831 Sound Level Meter. It requires very little supply current and will drive 300 feet of cable. The
preamplifier operates over wide temperature and humidity ranges. It has very little attenuation for use
with 50 mV/Pa sensitivity microphones up to 140 dBSPL.
