Brüel & Kjær measurement microphones are well known and respected worldwide because of their reputation for accuracy, stability, and trustworthiness.

It takes a wealth of experience to build microphones that are accurate, reliable, and long-lasting. The Brüel & Kjær design engineers and craftsmen have gained this experience by working at the frontiers of microphone technology for almost three-quarters of a century. The vast catalog of ideas developed over this period has made the Brüel & Kjær range of measurement microphones the most comprehensive available.
