Types 4130, 2642 and 2810 consti-

tute a completely self-contained, low-
cost microphone system for general
monitoring purposes. This combination
is compatible with the wide variety of
portable instruments available from
B & K for measuring, recording and an-
alyzing sound, and may also be used
as part of a multichannel data acqui-
sition system.
The 1/2” Condenser Microphone
Type 4130 is a robust, quality trans-
ducer which is primarily intended for
use with Brüel & Kjær dosimeters and
with the 1/2” Microphone Preamplifier
Type 2642. The 4130/2642 combination
yields a compact, rugged assembly for
operation in the harsh environment of
industry. The Microphone Power Sup-
ply Type 2810 is a battery-operated
unit with two independent channels. It
supplies the necessary operating volt-
ages for driving two Type 2642/4130
assemblies.
