G.R.A.S. 40DD 1/8" Prepolarized Pressure Microphone

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The G.R.A.S. 40DD is a high-precision 1/8" prepolarized pressure microphone designed for high-frequency sound measurements. It complies with IEC 61094-4 standards and is capable of measuring sound pressure levels up to 174 dB within a frequency range of 6 Hz to 140 kHz. Its compact size minimizes disturbance to the sound field.

Specifications
- Sensitivity: 0.7 mV/Pa
- Frequency Response: 6.5 Hz to 80 kHz
- Dynamic Range: 40 dBA to 178 dB
- Temperature Range: -40 to 120°C (-40 to 248°F) for operation
- Humidity Range: 0 to 100% RH non-condensing
- Weight: 1.5 g

Applications
The 40DD is ideal for high-frequency and high-level pressure sound measurements, including impulse noises. It is used in the 67SB Blast Probe Microphone due to its wide frequency response.

Compatibility and System Setup
The microphone requires an adapter for mounting onto a 1/4" preamplifier. Daily verification is recommended using a G.R.A.S. Sound Level Calibrator 42AB, and sensitivity calibration with a G.R.A.S. Intelligent Pistonphone 42AP.

Quality and Warranty
G.R.A.S. microphones are made from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. They offer a 5-year warranty against defects. Damaged diaphragms can be replaced at a reasonable cost.

Calibration
All microphones are factory-calibrated with traceable equipment. Annual recalibration is recommended based on usage and environmental conditions.

Company Background
Founded by acoustics pioneer Gunnar Rasmussen, G.R.A.S. has been dedicated to producing high-quality measurement microphones since 1994. The company is known for innovation in acoustic sensors and is represented in over 40 countries.

Page 1 of 4 G.R.A.S. 40DD 1/8" Prepolarized Pressure Microphone Sensitivity: 0.7 mV/Pa Freq resp: 6.5 Hz to 80 kHz Dynamic range: 40 dBA to 178 dB The 40DD is an IEC 61094 1/8" prepolarized pressure microphone with rear-venting. It is a high-precision Type 1 condenser microphone made according to IEC 61094-4 requirements. Its tiny size allows it to be used for measuring very high frequency sounds without disturbing the sound field. It can measure sound pressure levels up to 174 dB in the range of 6 Hz to 140 kHz. Introduction The 40DD is an IEC 61094 1/8" prepolarized pressure microphone with rear-venting. Read about the externally polarized equivalent.[40DP] It is a high-precision Type 1 condenser microphone made according to IEC 61094-4 requirements. Its tiny size allows it to be used for measuring very high frequency sounds without disturbing the sound field. It can measure sound pressure levels up to 174 dB in the range of 6 Hz to 140 kHz. 40DD is individually factory-calibrated and delivered with a calibration chart stating its specific open-circuit sensitivity and pressure frequency response.
