Measurement microphone

Protect the microphone on your noise meter, sound level meter or noise dosimeter from damage, the effects of wind and air and also free from dust. A windshield is a vital part of your noise measurement equipment for several reasons, not only do they reduce the effects of wind and air movement across your noise meter's microphone, they also help protect it from damage and help keep it clean and free of dust. We've designed our windshields to fit our noise meters perfectly so they allow the changes in air pressure from noise to be measured whilst ensuring microphone protection from wind, dust and damage. Why you need to use a windshield when you are taking noise measurements There are three key reasons: Reduce the effects of wind and air movement across the microphone Protect the microphone capsule from damage Protect the microphone capsule from dirt and dust. Effects of wind & air movement across the microphone Microphone capsules are designed to be sensitive to and react to changes in air pressure. These changes can be very small when the noise levels are down to 20dB or quite large when the noise levels are over 140dB. A microphone capsule that is this sensitive is all susceptible to picking up disturbance from wind which can affect your noise measurements, it is, therefore, vital when you are taking measurements outside that you use a windshield to reduce as much as possible, the effects of wind upon the measurements. We've designed our windshields to fit our noise meters perfectly so they allow the changes in air pressure from noise to be measured whilst reducing the turbulence that wind can create.
