GRAS AF0008 Adapter for 1/4″ preamplifier and 1/2″ microphoneGRAS AF0008 Adapter for 1/4" preamplifier and 1/2" microphone

The GRAS AF0008 is an adapter for using a 1/2″ microphone cartridge with a GRAS 26AB 1/4″ preamplifier.

Design

The GRAS AF0008 is a tube which gives a longer continuing 1/2″ diameter of the combined assembly. Thereby it is designed for a minimized acoustic influence from the measurement setup for free-field measurements. The adapter is made of high quality stainless steel. The dimensions are shown on a drawing under the tab “System Setup”. Theoretically, the tube should be infinitely long. The microphone cartridge and preamplifier interconnects directly and thereby no attenuation is introduced. This means that the characteristics of the microphone are maintained.

Alternatives

In setups with restricted space or in pressure measurement setups where the preamplifier is not exposed to the measured sound, then you should consider the GRAS GR0010. Consider also the GRAS RA0003 adapter for any standard microphone i.e. will fit microphones cartridges from other manufacturers as well as from GRAS

 

GRAS AG0001 Adapter for 7-pin LEMO to B&KGRAS AG0001 Adapter for 7-pin LEMO to B&K

The GRAS AG0001 is an adapter for a 7-pin LEMO connector and a traditional 7-Pin B&K microphone input connector.

 

GRAS AG0002 CCP Input AdapterGRAS AG0002 CCP Input Adapter

The GRAS AG0002 is an adapter for using a CCP preamplifier/microphone set with a GRAS12AA, 12AG or 12AK Power Module i.e. a Power Module with only LEMO connectors for the microphones. One end plugs straight into the Power Module’s input LEMO connector and the other end has a BNC socket for making a connection with a CCP preamplifier/microphone set.

On the Power Module, the preamplifier voltage must be set to 28 VDC.

 

GRAS AG0003 Adapter for CCP preamplifier to XLRGRAS AG0003 Adapter for CCP preamplifier to XLR

The GRAS AG0003 is an adapter for an XLR connector, with Phantom Power, and a CCP compatible preamplifier with a BNC connector at the end of the cable.

GRAS AL0003 1/4″ & 1/2″ Adjustable Microphone Holder, POMGRAS AL0003 1/4" & 1/2" Adjustable Microphone Holder, POM

The GRAS AL0003 consists of 3 parts: a swivel head for mounting on tripods with a standard 1/4″ UNC-20 thread and adapters for mounting a microphone set with 1/2″ or 1/4″ body diameter on the swivel head. Microphone sets with Microdot connector or integrated 5-pin LEMO connector do not fit.

The swivel head fits any tripod using a 1/4″ UNC-20 male thread. The 1/2″ adapter can then be mounted on the swivel head using the 1/4″ thread at the bottom of the adapter.

To mount a 1/2″ microphone set in the 1/2″ adapter, place the cable in the groove on the adapter and slide the microphone set back until it is held at the grommet (BNC) or union nut (LEMO) of the cable connector.

To mount a 1/4″ microphone, fit the 1/4″ adapter into the1/2” adapter with the grooves aligned to make place for the cable and slide the microphone set back and into the adapter.

For both cases, 1/2″ and 1/4″, run the cable inside the adapter as far as possible for minimum acoustical influence.

Note: Regarding BNC, notice that the connector grommet is the attach point i.e. the installation assumes that GRAS cables are used. Other brand of BNC cables may use a a grommet which does not fit.
