46BE 1/4" CCP Free-field Standard Microphone Set
The GRAS 46BE is a ¼″ Constant Current Power CCP free-field microphone set for measuring high sound pressure levels at high frequencies. It is terminated with a 10/32 UNC microdot female connector and is TEDS compatible. The equivalent traditional 200 V LEMO type is GRAS 46BF NOTE: Optimized for use without protection grid—remove grid before measuring.

For our users, data safety translates directly into requests for easier microphone selection, simple system configuration and reduction of measurement errors.
To meet these requirements, we invented the microphone set concept. It is simple, reliable and robust and consists of a microphone cartridge and preamplifier combination, which is calibrated as one unit. This eliminates errors because there is only one sensitivity value to account for and the risk of contaminating the interface is eliminated. Combine this with our unique and proven design and you have the most reliable measurement microphone sets available in the industry today.
