OverviewThe Family 4942 is a prepolarized 1/2-inch diffuse-field microphone designed for precise random-incidence noise measurements and compliance with applicable ANSI requirements. It is intended for environmental, laboratory and in-situ acoustic testing where diffuse-field response is required.
Key features- Prepolarized 1/2-inch diffuse-field microphone
- Optimized for random-incidence noise measurements
- Designed to meet relevant ANSI random-incidence measurement requirements
- Shown/used with 1706 preamplifier (compatibility indicated)
Application- Random-incidence / diffuse-field noise measurements
- Environmental and industrial noise monitoring
- In-vehicle (in-car) and laboratory acoustic testing
