Performance and Specifications
A microphone is only as good as its capsule, and we use a special hand-selected free-field thread-on capsule with a metal diaphragm built for us by CRYSOUND. Every mic ships with its own calibration report, and is available either with or without a Type 1 Certification certificate.
uPrecisionMic is very low noise, guaranteed to be below 19 dBA, for measuring room noise. It is also very flat, with a 3 dB rolloff below 3 Hz. The preamp self noise is typically 5 dB below the capsule noise floor.
iPrecisionMic has two gain ranges, which may be selected in the AudioTools app. The low range provides a typical usable range of 18 dBA to 110 dBA. Switching to high range provides a typical usable range of 35 dBA to 125 dBA. To switch gain ranges, go to the Input Source page, from the Setup page of any module.
