Technical Information

The dual-gain range mic preamp, A/D converters, D/A converters and USB digital audio interface are all contained within the mic itself, so no Apple analog electronics are used. This lets us bypass the heavy filtering and compression that are normally in use, and also to store calibration values that are read by software.

iTestMic2 is equivalent to having a pro Type 2-class test & measurement mic, low-noise matched preamp with two fixed gain ranges, A/D converter, DAC, and USB digital audio interface, all combined in one portable device.

iTestMic2 meets ANSI / ISO Type 2 specifications for frequency response, linearity, and directional characteristics.  We do not guarantee that this microphone can meet the strict environmental requirements of Type 2 or Type 1.

See our Microphone Type 1 & 2 Certification page for more information about ANSI and ISO specification compatibility.
