Modern Prepolarized Precision Condenser Microphones & Preamplifiers
-
Modern prepolarized microphones are designed with newer technology than traditional externally polarized microphones. Prepolarized microphones have many advantages over the externally polarized models. They use ICP® power circuitry invented for sensors by PCB®. By applying a polymer coating to the top of the backplate and embedding a charge on it, expensive 200V power supplies can be eliminated and 2-20 mA constant current supplies or signal conditioners can be used as the power source.

Externally Polarized Precision Condenser Microphones & Preamplifiers
-
Externally polarized microphones set the initial standard for all acoustic test and measurement applications. They rely on a dedicated 200V power supply and specialized cables with 7-pin LEMO® connectors. Their straightforward design supports a wide product range. Often chosen as replacements for existing models or when prepolarized alternatives are unavailable.
