Product catalog summary
Overview: The 5002 Pistonphone is a precision sound pressure source designed for the calibration of sound level meters and complete sound measuring systems. It is compact, mains-independent, and requires minimal maintenance.
Specifications: The Pistonphone generates a nominal sound pressure level of 124 dB at a frequency of 250 Hz. It maintains a sound pressure level tolerance of ±0.3 dB and a frequency tolerance of ≤0.1%. The total harmonic distortion is ≤3%. It operates under ambient conditions of -10°C to +50°C and can be stored between -40°C and +70°C with a maximum relative humidity of 95%.
Power Supply: The device is powered by seven 1.5V IEC Type LR6 (AA size) batteries or an external DC source ranging from 8V to 45V. It has a battery life of over 30 hours at 20°C.
Construction and Operation: The Pistonphone uses a low noise DC motor to move pistons in a pressure chamber, producing a steady-state sinusoidal sound pressure. The operation is quartz-stabilized to ensure constant frequency, and LED indicators show operational status.
Calibration and Compatibility: It can calibrate microphones with capsule diameters of 1”, 1/2”, and 1/4”. Adapter rings are provided for 1/2” and 1/4” capsules. A correction factor is needed if the equivalent microphone volume deviates. The device includes a barometer for level correction based on static barometric pressure.
Delivery and Accessories: The Pistonphone is delivered in a luxury wooden case with optional accessories such as holders for 1/2” and 1/4” microphones. The dimensions of the case are 310 x 125 x 70 mm, and the total weight with batteries is 1530 g.
Compliance: The device meets Class 1L standards according to DIN IEC 942 (1990) and can achieve Class 0L with a suitable external barometer.

KONDENSATORMIKROFONE FÜR STUDIO - UND MESSTECHNIK PTB-Zulassung-Nr. zur amtlichen Eichung calibration brand Application The 5002 Pistonphone is a compact mains-intependent precision sound pressure source of class 1L according to DIN IEC 942 (1990) for fast and precise calibration of sound level meters and complete sound measuring systems. It provides an easy and quick method for calibration and requires only low maintenance. The 5002 Pistonphone enables to calibrate measuring microphones with capsule diameters of 1”, 1/2” and 1/4” as well. Using 1/2” and 1/4” capsules, corresponding adapter rings being part of delivery are required. In addition to the microphone capsules offered by the manufacturer Microtech Gefell, microphone capsules of other make can be used provided they have the same diameter. Should the equivalent microphone volume deviate, this has to be taken into account by means of a correction factor. Construction and Operating Principle A low noise DC motor moves two pistons by means of a cam disk in a pressure chamber. A steady-state sinusoidal alternating sound pressure is produced by oscillating pistons in the pressure chamber, closed by the microphone to be calibrated. The generated sound pressure level of 124 dB is so high that surrounding noise does not effect its operation. The high sound pressure level allows the calibration of 1/4” measuring microphones. The revolutions per minute of the motor and thus the frequency of the sound pressure level is kept constant by a quartz-stabilized circuit independet from the battery voltage. The faultless operation of 250 Hz is shown by a green LED. Should the operation voltage decreases below the allowable limit, a red LED starts shining. The unit is powered from seven 1,5 V primary cells of the type LR 6. Further it can be powered from an external DC source with a voltage range from 8 to 45 V, 100 mA, e.g. from a customary in trade plug power supply with 2,5 mm jack connector - positive pole to center contact. Because the generated sound pressure level depends on the static barometric pressure the pistonphone is supplied complete with a barometer having special scale on which the corresponding level correction values can be read directly. The 5002 Pistonphone and its accessories as well are supplied in an eye-catching case made of luxury wood. PTB ...
