The 1/4" microphone power module allows to connect 1/4" (or 
1/8") measurement microphones directly to the UltraSoundGate 
xx16x units, which can greatly simplify the use of measurement 
microphones in the field (otherwise a separate power supply 
module / conditioning amplifier would be required). It is powered 
from the UltraSoundGate base unit and includes a low-noise 
preamplifier and a switchable 15 kHz high pass filter.

Compatible 1/4" preamplifiers are for instance G.R.A.S. 26AC, 
B&K 2670 or Microtech Gefell MV 302.
