Beyond Electronics has developed a line of specialty audio products designed to survive in extremely harsh environments. These products are water resistant and shock/vibration resistant to very high levels. They can withstand very high sound pressure levels without "saturating" or "blanking". In addition to microphones, Beyond Electronics also offers specialty processor boards and software, located in their respective locations in this web site, targeted at the situational awareness market.
Rugged-Mic is a passive microphone targeted at environments that require the utmost in environmental and electrical protection. It is available in several different frequency response ranges and two different levels of water resistance. It is packaged in a one piece aluminum casing with substantial mounting locations. All internal components are “potted” in a thermally conductive epoxy material guaranteeing long life and maximum durability.
