Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The G.R.A.S. ½" free-field microphone Type 40AZ is a precision condenser microphone designed for low-frequency and infra-sound measurements in open acoustic fields. It is prepolarized and offers a large dynamic range with a wide frequency response.
Typical Applications
  • Precision acoustic measurements
  • Type 0 and 1 SPL measurements
  • Free-field measurements
  • Low-frequency measurements
  • Infra-sound measurements
Specifications
  • Frequency response: 0.5 Hz - 20 kHz (± 2.0 dB), 1 Hz - 10 kHz (± 1.0 dB)
  • Resonant frequency: 4 kHz (90° phase shift)
  • Nominal sensitivity at 250 Hz: 50 mV/Pa
  • Polarization voltage: 0 V
  • Dynamic range: Upper limit 146 dB re. 20 μPa
  • Microphone thermal noise: 14 dB re. 20 μPa
  • Capacitance: 20 pF
Design and Compatibility
The microphone is compatible with the G.R.A.S. ¼" high impedance preamplifier Type 26CG. It features a mounting thread compatible with WS2P/F microphone preamplifiers. The microphone is constructed from non-corrosive, stainless materials for durability in harsh environments.
Compliance and Warranty
All G.R.A.S. microphones comply with IEC 1094 standards for measurement microphones. They are guaranteed for 5 years and come with individual calibration charts.
Physical Dimensions
  • Length with protection grid: 16.2 mm; without: 15.3 mm
  • Diameter with protection grid: 13.2 mm; without: 12.7 mm
  • Weight: 9 g (0.32 oz)
Environmental Specifications
  • Temperature range: –40 °C to +70 °C
  • Humidity range: 0–100% RH (non-condensing)
  • Venting: Rear-vented
Performance Characteristics
The microphone is designed to minimize the effects of its presence in the sound field at low frequencies. At higher frequencies, diffraction effects are compensated to ensure a flat frequency response for 0º incidence. Figures provided illustrate frequency response and corrections for various angles of incidence.
