The Outdoor Microphone Nor1216 is a measurement microphone for all-weather conditions. It is mainly for permanent outdoor applications, but may also be used for temporary applications.
The microphone system is well protected from rain, snow, dust and insects, satisfying IP 55 requirements.
Further, compared to a standard measurement microphone, the Outdoor Microphone Nor1216 improves the measurement accuracy by reducing the wind noise and by improving the directional response for sound from different directions.
Combined with the sound level instrument like Nor140 powered by the external DC (or mains) supply, the outdoor microphone Nor1216 satisfy Class 1 specification requirements according to IEC61672-1 and related national standards.
The microphone is intended for vertical mounting only since the act of gravitation forms a part of the rain protection system. The reference direction may, however, be selected to be vertical or horizontal based on the applied frequency compensation.
The Outdoor Microphone may be calibrated with a normal sound calibrator suitable for ½” working standard microphones (WS2) without the need for extra accessories. Access to the microphone cartridge is easily gained by dismounting the upper part of the microphone.
The base of the Outdoor Microphone Nor1216 is made of an electrical insulating material. The microphone body will be fully insulated from the mounting mast thereby reducing pick-up of electrical hum and noise.
For verification of proper operation, the microphone is equipped with a system check facility, where an electrical signal applied on one of the terminals are returned after passing through the complete signal chain, thus verifying proper operation of the microphone cartridge, preamplifier and microphone cable.
The Outdoor Microphone Nor1216 is equipped with the standard 7-pin Lemo connector and may plug directly into the sound level meter instrument Nor140 by the use of a standard microphone cable.
