Introduction The Scope of this Manual This manual describes how to mount the G.R.A.S 1/2”, 1/4” and 1/8” flush-mount microphone sets, how to connect them, and how to perform sensitivity and frequency calibration. Two mounting options are described: • Mounting with Adapter An adapter for each microphone size is available.
Applications for Flush-mount Measurement Microphones The G.R.A.S. line of flush-mount measurement microphones combines the high precision and reliability of G.R.A.S. measurement microphones with the need for fitting sensors into very confined spaces and narrow structures. With a height of less than 10 mm (0.4 inch) and thin coax connection, these acoustic sensors can be integrated into literally any design without sacrificing aerodynamic properties.
Microdot male connector. Standard cable length is 1.5 m (4.92 feet). All the microphones listed below can be ordered with customized cable length, e.g. 47AX-CL, where CL is the cable length in centimeters. For instance, if you wish to order with 25 m cable, you write 47BX-CL2500.

Mounting and Removal General Information The procedure for mounting 1/2”, 1/4” and 1/8” flush-mount microphone sets is the same. The only difference is the dimensions of the mounting holes. The microphones are typically mounted without the microphone grid. Store the microphone grid for future use.

Removal of 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch Flush-mount Microphones Once mounted, a flush-mount microphone can be difficult to remove. The G.R.A.S. RA0302 Removal Tool for 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch flush-mount microphones makes it possible to remove the microphone without damage to structure, microphone housing or cable. The removal tool holds the microphone housing with 8 claws, tightened and loosened by turning a knob, see Fig.
Powering & Connection – CCP General Information The powering and connection is electrically exactly the same as for G.R.A.S. CCP standard microphone sets. A constant current input module that can deliver 4 mA and 24 V unloaded CCP voltage supply is required. If the constant current supply is lower, the capability of driving long cables is reduced and consequently the upper frequency is reduced.

Calibration Periodical Calibration All measurement microphones need periodical calibration for obtaining reliable results. How often depends on your requirements and on the environment the microphone sets are exposed to. We recommend at least one calibration per year. G.R.A.S. offers equipment for calibration as well as calibration services.
Specifications Specifications are given on our website. Visit www.gras.dk Calibration, Warranty and Repair Calibration Before leaving the factory, all G.R.A.S. products are calibrated in a controlled laboratory environ- ment using traceable calibration equipment. A calibration card is included. In addition, the sensi- tivity data is stored in the TEDS memory.
