½" Free-Field Microphone.

MC801

IEC 61094-4 compliant ½" free-field capsule combining 25 mV/Pa sensitivity with 3.15 Hz–20 kHz frequency range. Paired with the MP801 preamplifier, MC801 delivers an extended 21 dBA to 140 dBpeak range, maximizing your return on investment.

Introduction

Professional noise assessment requires a microphone tailored to the task. The MC801 ½" free-field pre-polarized measurement microphone—the core of the XPT801 set—provides a versatile, standard chain for environmental noise monitoring, workplace exposure assessments, industrial noise mapping, and laboratory testing.

Featuring 25 mV/Pa sensitivity and full IEC 61094-4 WS2F compliance, the MC801 covers a wide 3.15 Hz to 20 kHz spectrum. Paired with the MP801 preamplifier, this cost-effective set delivers a dependable 21 dBA to 140 dBpeak dynamic range, making it perfectly suited for standard field surveys and technical noise assessments.

Smart workflow starts at the preamplifier. Thanks to the Sensor Digital Interface, the XPT801 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.
