Mounting Mounting the 48LA and 48LX-1 microphones is fairly straightforward. Four mounting methods are described here. The top-mounted tape can easily be cut to different shapes if needed. Mounting with Hard Fairing This mounting method can be used on plain structures.
Mounting with Hard Fairing The fairing for 48LA and 48LX-1 is made from hard plastic. It has a recess for holding the micro- phone. Once mounted, the fairing can be used as a dock in which the microphone can be inserted and removed without affecting the measurement position which can be retained for future use.

The adapter has three main features. • It has a 1" stud/collar for fit with any GRAS calibrator fitted for use with an 1" adapter. • It has a soft cushion similar to those found on circum-aural headphones. It creates a closed cavity over the microphone to be calibrated.
Procedure Important. Before verification, you must ensure that the microphones to be verified are properly connected. A 48LA/48LX-1 needs a warm-up period of about 3 minutes to obtain stable sensitivity. G.R.A.S. 42AG G.R.A.S. 42AG Fig. 8. In-situ verification using 42AG and RA4800.
