Model cm16 cmpa

Manufactured by Avisoft

Sourced in Germany

The Model CM16/CMPA is a condenser microphone system designed for acoustic measurements. It consists of a condenser microphone capsule (CM16) and a microphone amplifier (CMPA). The CM16 microphone capsule is a measurement-grade condenser microphone capable of capturing high-fidelity audio signals. The CMPA microphone amplifier provides the necessary power and signal conditioning for the CM16 microphone. This system is suitable for a variety of acoustic measurement applications.

Locomotor chambers were constructed with black acrylic walls (47.5 cm length × 15.5 cm width × 30 cm height) and smooth matte black flooring. Positioned directly above each chamber were infrared video cameras hooked up to a 16-channel DVR (Swann Communications, Inc., Santa Fe Springs, CA). Locomotion was captured by the cameras and analyzed by Topscan video tracking software (Clever Sys., Inc., Reston, VA; Flagel and Robinson, 2007; Meyer et al., 2012b (link)). Condenser microphones with a flat frequency range up to 250 kHz at 8-bit resolution (Model CM16/CMPA, Avisoft Bioacoustics, Berlin, Germany), were placed 8 cm above each chamber and connected to an UltraSoundGate 416H recorder with four balanced analog inputs (Avisoft Bioacoustics, Berlin, Germany). USV recordings were converted to spectrograms and analyzed by an experimenter in Adobe Audition (Adobe Systems Inc, San Jose, CA).

Recording Ultrasonic Vocalizations in Mice

The recording chambers were standard mouse cages (30 x 19 x 13 cm) with a paper towel lining the bottom to reduce noise generated by the mouse moving around (Fig 3). These cages were placed inside a double-walled sound-attenuated booth lined with anechoic foam (10.2 cm Sonex, Illbruck Inc., Minneapolis, MN). Ultrasonic condenser microphones (Avisoft Bioacoustics, model CM16/CMPA, Berlin, Germany) were placed above the recording cage pointing downwards, about 50 cm from the bottom of the cage.
The mice were recorded using an Avisoft UltraSoundGate recorder (UltraSoundGate CM16/CMPA, flat frequency response (± 6 dB) between 25 and 140 kHz) connected to a Hewlett Packard (HP) Notebook and Avisoft-RECORDER software.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
