Preamplifiers allow high impedance signals to be converted to low impedance signals.
PCB’s phantom powered preamplifier (426A14) has a unique convertible design that mates with any ½” or ¼” prepolarized IEC 61094-4 compliant microphone cartridge.
Model 378B11 is a 1/2 in (12 mm) prepolarized microphone and preamplifier high sensitivity system, with the capability of measuring very low amplitudes due to its low noise floor (16 dBA). This mated pair can measure sound pressure levels to 137 dB within a 3% distortion rating.
