Microphone Disc GM50 for BATmode systems
Electret Ultrasonic Microphone Disc with Test Signal Speaker for mounting in the nacelle floor of wind turbines or on a tripod.
The GM50 microphone disc from Avisoft Bioacoustics is a very versatile microphone. With the built-in ultrasonic capsule Knowles FG-23629-P16, the integrated microphone heater and preamplifier as well as a 40kHz test signal speaker, it offers all the features of the bigger microphone GM90 in terms of frequency response, directional characteristics, noise level, condensation avoidance and microphone sensitivity logging. In addition, due to the removable mounting plate, the microphone disc can not only be used for mounting in the floor of wind turbine nacelles, but also with the optional tripod for alternative measurements (not on wind turbines). However, due to the lack of a wind protection ring and the changed dimensions compared to the GM90, the GM50 microphone disc is not compatible with the software tool Probat for calculating shutdown times.
To protect against weather and environmental conditions, all electronic components in the aluminum made microphone disc are splash-proof.
