The 1/4” MK 302 measuring microphone cartridge is designed for acoustical measurements in research and development and also for industrial use. Some applications include audiometry, the measurement of building acoustics and noise levels.
The microphone cartridge is designed and very carefully constructed to ensure excellent long-time stability of the electroacoustical parameters.
All essential components including the diaphragm are made of nickel and the diaphragm is bonded by a special galvanic process.
The rear electrode is insulated from the cartridge housing by a quartz glass plate.
The diaphragm is protected against mechanical damage by a protection grid. The equalization of the static air pressure between the inside and outside of the cartridge is by means of a capillary tube rear-vented into the preamplifier.
The cartridge uses the international standard thread 60 UNS which ensures compatibility with a wide range of calibration equipment and measurement devices available from many manufacturers.
The measuring microphone cartridge MK 302 is designed for sound level meters of IEC Type 1 according to IEC 61672.
