Click to enlargeThe series of G.R.A.S. Environmental Microphones are a new, low-cost alternative to Outdoor Microphones, such as Types 41AM and 41CN.
Outdoor Microphones, with their stainless-steel casings, elaborate sealing systems etc., are for permanent unattended outdoor installations, whereas the series of Type 41AL Environmental Microphones are more for short-term outdoor measurements covering periods from a few days to several weeks*. They  can withstand continuous rain and operate over a wide temperature range.
When the windscreen is removed, the Type 41AL can be calibrated with a pistonphone using the special Pistonphone Adapter Type RA0010. Afterwards, the integrity of the measurement system as a whole can be checked using the optional built-in SysCheck capability.
The Type 41AL fulfils the requirements of IEC 60651 for Type 0 Sound Level Meters and is available in four versions covering measurements at both 0º and 90º incidence.
Available versions:

  • Type 41AL-S (community noise)
  •  - with externally-polarised microphone and 90º incidence.
  • Type 41AL-1 (airport noise)
  •  - with externally-polarised microphone and 0º incidence
  • Type 41AL-2 (community noise)
  •  - with prepolarised microphone and 90º incidence
  • Type 41AL-6 (airport noise)
  •  - with prepolarised microphone and 0º incidence
