Spartan 821/721 Manual Model PRM721 and PRM821 Specifications A-23
A.3 Model PRM721 and PRM821 Specifications
The Larson Davis PRM721 and PRM821 are electret microphone preamplifiers for use with Larson Davis 721 or 821
sound level meters. They require little supply current and are capable of driving 200 feet of cable. The preamplifiers
operate over wide ranges of temperature and humidity, have very little attenuation, and are for use with multiple
microphones .
