G.R.A.S. 40PH CCP Free-field Array Microphone

The G.R.A.S. 40PH Array Microphone is a low-cost

Freq range: 5 kHz to 20 kHz microphone for general purpose measurements in
Dyn range: 32 dB(A) to135 dB arrays and matrices.
Sensitivity: 50 mV/Pa

Technology

Typical applications and use

Multi-channel measurements
Sound-field analyses
Sound-power measurements
Concurrent spatial and transient measurements

Design

It has a wide useful frequency range reaching up to 20 kHz and a large dynamic range topping at around 135 dB.

It has an integrated CCP preamplifier and is delivered with a built-in TEDS chip which enables it to be programmed
as a complete unit. The G.R.A.S. 40PH requires a constant current power supply, e.g. the G.R.A.S. 12AL CCP
Supply, or any other CCP compatible power supply.

Close manufacturing tolerances together with the advantages of the TEDS chip, provide the 40PH with a high

degree of interchangeability; a major advantage when used in multiples forming arrays and matrices.

The low cost of the 40PH is a key consideration when setting up measurements requiring a multiplicity of
concurrent transient and spatial data.

Calibrating the 40PH with a G.R.A.S. pistonphone, e.g. G.R.A.S. 42AA, is as straight forward as calibrating any
other G.R.A.S. 1/4-inch microphone.

All G.R.A.S. microphones are individually checked and calibrated before leaving the factory. An individual
calibration chart is supplied with each microphone.

We make Microphones

Tradition
Since the establishment in 1994, G.R.A.S. have been 100% dedicated to developing and manufacturing
high-quality measurement microphones and related acoustic equipment. Founded by the Danish acoustics pioneer
Gunnar Rasmussen who for more than 60 years has contributed to the world of sound and vibration with his unique
ideas and designs. From the first reproducible 1” condenser measurement microphone that enabled quality
measurements and instrumentation for acoustic calibration, Mr. Rasmussen’s ingenuity and foresight led to the
world’s most popular acoustic sensor: The 1/2” measurement microphone. Then the 1/4” and 1/8” microphones
followed with outstanding dynamic and high-frequency capability that brought higher definition and transparency
into impulse noise diagnostics. Many variants have been made available over the years; all based on Gunnar
Rasmussen’s original 1” pressure microphone design.

Innovation
At G.R.A.S., we and our customers benefit daily from Mr. Rasmussen’s exceptional understanding of acoustics,
physics, electronics and measurement needs. Not only in R&D but throughout the organisation, we are proud to
develop, produce and offer the broadest range of high-quality measurement microphones and accessories in the
industry. And as a family company, now owned and managed by the two sons, Per Rasmussen and Peter
Wulf-Andersen, we safeguard our heritage and knowledge to help create new opportunities with our customers. We
work with everybody with an interest in sound or noise within the fields of aerospace, automotive, audiology,
consumer electronics, noise monitoring, building acoustics and telecommunications, metrology, education,
consultancy, legislation and system integration.

Quality
All our microphones are solely produced in stainless steel and in a quality that allows for a 5 year warranty. Should
you by mistake damage the diaphragm on a G.R.A.S. microphone, our special technique enables repair at very
reasonable price.

Partners
G.R.A.S. is represented worldwide in more than 40 countries by subsidiaries and distributors. Whether you are
searching for a multi-channel solution or just a replacement microphone for your sound level meter G.R.A.S. will
help solve your needs. Visit gras.dk for your local G.R.A.S. partner.
