    The microphones (Fig. 2.3) are ½″ prepolarized free-field condenser microphones with high sensitivity and a uniquely-designed pressure equalization system that ensures extremely well- defined phase characteristics. The microphones and preamplifiers are mounted onto the end of the telescopic arm of the Probe handle. To cover the full frequency range from 30 Hz to 10 kHz, the Type 50GI is delivered with four solid interchangeable spacers for spacing the microphones at 12 mm, 25 mm, 50 mm, and 100 mm.

  • Page 9: Assembly

    Intensity Probe Type 50GI Assembly Assembling the Probe The Intensity Probe can be assembled in either a straight setup or a symmetrical setup: • The straight setup (Fig. 3.1), is for intensity measurements close to surfaces and general source location measurements. • The symmetrical configuration (Fig. 3.2), is ideal for sound power measurements, for ex- ample according to international standard ISO 9614-2 “Acoustics - Determination of sound power levels of noise sources using sound intensity”...

    Fig. 3.7 Example of completely assembled Probe Type 50GI (symmetrical setup with 25-mm spacer) Using the Windscreen The Sound Intensity Probe Type 50GI includes an elliptical windscreen (AI0001) which can be used whenever making outdoor measurements or when making indoor measurements in the presence of bulk air movements. Use it only when measurements are influenced by wind. It gives good protection at wind speeds greater than 0.5 m/s and can reduce pressure fluctuations...

    Intensity Probe Type 50GI Calibration Checking the Sensitivity and P-I Index using a Pistonphone 4.1.1 Checking the Sensitivity Check the sensitivity of the microphones using a Pistonphone Type 42AP (recommended) or Type 42AA. Refer to the manual supplied with the pistonphone for instructions on using the pistonphone.

    Intensity Probe Type 50GI Checking the Probe’s P-I Index using an Intensity Calibrator The P-I (Pressure Intensity) index of the sound intensity microphone pair and preamplifiers can be checked using the Intensity Calibrator Type 51AB - proceed as follows: 1. Mount the intensity microphones on their preamplifiers. 2. Connect the preamplifier outputs to the sound-intensity analyzer 3. Insert the microphones into the holes at the ends of the Intensity Calibrator, making sure to push then all the way in.
