In order to create a more comfortable sound environment, there is a need to reduce the operating noise of products such as home appliances and information equipment,
as well as the sound of motors and inverters that transmits into the vehicle interior.
The Low-noise Microphone allows measurements in the 10 dB range (A-weighting), which is difficult to measure with normal microphones.
While conventional low-noise microphone requires a separate amplifier for power supply, this product adapts a CCLD (constant current drive) method and can be used by directly connecting to a CCLD-compatible analyzer.
