    • Connect the LINE OUTPUT of the MP-200 to your analyzer or computer sound input. • Set the MIC GAIN knob on the MP-200 to 0 dB. At this setting, the output signal level will be 24.5 mV at 94 dB sound pressure level (1 Pascal).

The AudioControl Industrial SA-3050 real-time audio analyzer is still the world’s most popular analyzer. The MP-200 is designed to our high quality standards to meet the needs of audio profes- sionals and enthusiasts alike.

    The basic application setup with the MP-200 system is very simple: Plug one or two CM-10 microphones into the MP-200 preamp, connect the line level input if necessary, and feed the line output of the preamp into your analyzer or measurement system. Once you have connected the system together, operation of the MP-200 is straightforward: Set the MIKE GAIN control to the amount of signal increase you need from the CM-10 mic to your analysis system.

  • Page 8 This DSP card utilizes balanced mini-DIN audio connec- tions, so you will need to build an adapter cable to connect the unbalanced RCA outputs of the MP-200 to the balanced mini-DIN inputs of the SysID DSP card. The typical equipment needed for this setup (in addition to the computer with a SysID analyzer card) is a mic preamp, a measurement microphone and the cables to plug it all together.
