PCB Piezotronics Introduces New Probe Microphone for Measurements in Small, Hard-to-Reach Areas

January 21, 2014

Jan. 20, 2014, Depew, N.Y. –PCB Piezotronics, Inc. announces the launch of their new probe microphone for R&D engineers who need to measure sound pressure in confined areas. The probe tip diameter is extremely small measuring 0.050″ (1.3mm) which enables white goods, telephone, headphone, loudspeaker and musical instrument manufacturers to make measurements in small, confined, and difficult-to-access areas that cannot be accessed using traditional microphones, which are typically larger. The small size of the probe tip also allows near field measurements with minimal disturbance of the sound field. This enables more accurate test results.
