26CS 1/4" CCP Standard Preamplifier with Microdot Connector, Very Short

The GRAS 26CS 1/4" Preamplifier is a very small preamplifier optimized for use with prepolarized condenser microphones. It is a robust unit and uses a CCP power supply. It has a very low inherent noise level, a large dynamic range and a frequency response from below 2 Hz to above 200 kHz.

Its small ceramic thick-film substrate has a very high input impedance, and is shielded by a guard ring to minimise the influence of stray capacitance and microphonic interference.

The 26CS is delivered with Generation II TEDS. The calibration data is programmed into the built-in TEDS according to IEEE 1451.4 using UDID I27-0-0-0U. If your measurement platform supports Transducer Electronic Data Sheets you will be able to read and write data like properties and calibration data.
