½" Free-Field Microphone. High sensitivity.

MC800

IEC 61094-4 compliant ½" free-field capsule delivering 50 mV/Pa sensitivity and and 3.15 Hz–20 kHz frequency range. Combined with the MP800 preamplifier, it offers an outstanding 15 dBA to 140 dBpeak measurement range for professional acoustics.

Introduction

Accurate acoustic analysis requires a microphone chain tailored to its environment. The MC800 ½" free-field pre-polarized microphone—the core of the XPT800 set—delivers the precision needed for environmental noise, building acoustics, workplace risk assessments, and industrial product testing.
 
Featuring 50 mV/Pa sensitivity and full IEC 61094-4 WS2F compliance, the MC800 covers a wide 3.15 Hz–20 kHz frequency spectrum. When paired with the MP800 preamplifier, this high-performance set delivers an exceptional 15 dBA to 140 dBpeak dynamic range, ensuring absolute precision from ultra-quiet baselines to extreme acoustic peaks in Class 1 measurements.

Smart workflow starts at the preamplifier. Thanks to the Sensor Digital Interface, the XPT800 platform instantly recognizes the microphone model and sensitivity. This ensures a faster, error-free setup and guarantees a perfectly identified measurement chain across both field and laboratory environments.
