Measurement Microphone Selection Tool

Your guide to choosing the right measurement microphone for your requirements

Choosing the right microphone for your application is crucial for accurate and reliable measurements. Our Microphone Selection Tool is designed to make this process simple and intuitive, helping you identify the ideal microphone based on your specific requirements.

Our selection tool is designed to save you time from having to sift through datasheets in order to find out which microphones meet your requirements. Instead you are able to use our simple filtering system where you can input your requirements and the selection tool will instantly show you your tailored results in the form a visual graph.

The tool doesn’t just provide a list of random options, it’s powered by our in-depth knowledge of acoustics. Each result is matched to your criteria, ensuring you receive the most suitable recommendations for your application. Whether you’re working in the automotive industry or a laboratory or another industry the tool points you toward solutions that professionals can trust.

We understand the environment Crysound measurement microphones are going into and they are built exactly for harsh for environments. It’s why they chose titanium as the main component material!

We offer a 10-year warranty on Crysound measurement microphones. The combination of these two key elements means you won’t need to spend any resources or budget on these sensors during the 10-year lifecycle. Our no quibble 10-year warranty is built to protect you and your future budgets. We don’t send anything away for repair, if you need a new microphone, we will replace it with a brand-new sensor immediately, meaning you don’t lose any data or time during your measurements.  

As the distributor of Crysound products in the UK, AcSoft offers expert guidance to help you select the best microphone set for your application.

What is the dynamic range of a microphone?

This is the range of sound pressure levels the microphone can handle, without distortion at the high levels, and without self-noise at the lower levels. Normally expressed as a range of dB, e.g. 24-137Db.

What is a frequency range of a microphone?

The range of frequencies the microphone can detect, without any changes of sensitivity. It depends on the type and size of microphone e.g. for a ½” type, 3Hz to 20,000 Hz.

What is microphone sensitivity?

The output voltage as a function of the input sound pressure. Normally expressed as X mV/Pa, e.g. 50mV/Pa means that for every Pascal of sound pressure, you get 50mV at the microphone output.

What is the difference between a free field microphone and a pressure field microphone?

Free field microphones are used in environments where there are no reflections or reverberations (free field) e.g. outside. The capsule is designed so that its presence in the sound field is corrected for. Pressure microphones are used in closed couplers, such as ear simulators, and also for measurements on the walls of ducts. The microphone measures the acoustic pressure directly at the diaphragm, without corrections for the size/shape of the microphone itself.
