The Fibersound Fiber Optic Microphone provides interference free communication in electrically noisy environments. The microphone uses a patented optical system that converts acoustic signals directly to a modulated light intensity signal. Since no electrical signals generated in the microphone or the fiber optic cables the fiber optic microphone provides secure and interference free communication in chemically or electrically hazardous conditions. Available with completely non-metallic construction to permit use in areas of high magnetic fields such as the bore of an MRI.

Driver Selection for FOM1 fiber optic microphone
Operation of the FOM1 fiber optic microphone requires a source to launch unmodulated to the microphone and a detector to convert the returned, audio modulated light to an electrical audio signal. These functions are provided in a convenient package by the Model FOM1-DR series of fiber optic microphone drivers:
|
- Model FOM1-DR1z AC line power driver
- Model FOM1-DR1x battery powered driver with optional AC power
The Model FOM1-DRz operates off AC wall voltage using an included AC/AC power pack.
The Model FOM1-DRx control unit operates off three removable C-cell batteries. The C-cell batteries can be either primary cells (alkali recommended and included) or rechargeable cells. Rechargeable cells (NiMH recommended) are charged in suitable external chargers available separately.
