Primary Microphone Calibration System

Primary Microphone Calibration

The NPL primary microphone calibration system is a complete measurement package developed for:

  • organisations establishing a national standard for sound pressure or a new microphone calibration infrastructure
  • calibration laboratories with reference microphones requiring the same level of measurement precision as a national measurement laboratory

A unique and versatile system for optimum measurement performance including precision engineered reference electrical standards, acoustic couplers and microphone power supplies.

Features:

  • customised software for automated measurement, theoretical analysis of reciprocity method, data handling, graphical reporting of results and certification
  • software/hardware enhancements and troubleshooting service from experienced NPL acousticians
  • customised training packages for technicians and scientists on the use of the system, software and the reciprocity method
