MP205 is 1/2" prepolarized free-field measurement microphone. It is ideal to be used in IEC61672 Class 2 Sound Level Meters and other noise measurements where Class 2 accuracy is required.
The design of the MP205 is based on the technology and structure of the MP201. The microphone diaphragm is made from nickel using BSWA diaphragm coating technology with housing made stainless steel. It is high quality Class 2 microphone. The temperature, pressure, and humidity coefficients are better than IEC 61672 Class 2 requirements.
The microphone protection grid is redesigned to distinguish MP201 and MP205. The free-field correction and polar pattern of MP205 were measured in the anechoic chamber. Each MP205 is individually calibrated using the electrostatic actuator and piston phone. All microphones are environmentally aged for long term stability.
