Product catalog summary
Introduction
The G.R.A.S. 40DP is a high-precision 1/8" externally polarized pressure microphone designed for measuring high-frequency sounds without disturbing the sound field. It complies with IEC 61094-4 standards and is suitable for sound pressure levels up to 174 dB within a frequency range of 6.5 Hz to 140 kHz.

Specifications
- Sensitivity: 1 mV/Pa
- Frequency Response: 6.5 Hz to 140 kHz
- Dynamic Range: 40 dBA to 178 dB
- Temperature Range: -40 to 150°C (-40 to 302°F) for operation
- Humidity Range: 0 to 100% RH non-condensing
- Weight: 1.5 g

Applications
The 40DP is ideal for high-frequency and high-level pressure sound measurements, including impulse noises. It can be used in laminar airflow conditions with the RA0173 nosecone to minimize turbulence.

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

Quality and Warranty
G.R.A.S. microphones are made from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and resistance to physical damage and 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. Recalibration is recommended annually based on usage and environmental conditions.

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

G.R.A.S. 40DP 1/8" Ext. Polarized Pressure Microphone Date 10-06-2013. Page 2 of 5 The 40DP has a low sensitivity making it perfect for sound measurements at high frequencies and very high level pressure. The low sensitivity, together with the wide frequency response, makes the 40DP very suitable for impulse noises. The 40DP can be used for making acoustic measurements in laminar airflow by mounting the RA0173 1/8” Nosecone in place of the microphone grid. The nosecone tip should be point upstream in a laminar flow to reduce the turbulence created by the microphone itself in the airflow. Compatibility...
