Hardware for portable DAQ using microphones

[Acoustics-guy]

I need a very portable, laptop based DAQ system for making acoustic measurements, including recording waveforms from microphones. I'm looking at the DAQPAD-6015 w/ BNC termination (# 779193-01 costing $1,495). Is that all I need? Do I need any other accesories?

Hello Acoustics-guy,

If your transducers connect through BNC, than I can't think of any other accessories you need. However, if you need signal conditioning for your measurements you might need to consider some other options or extra accessories. Take a look at the SCXI 1600. It is not as portable, but it may provide a more robust measurement system by allowing you to use the SCXI Signal Conditioning modules. Let us know if you have any other questions!
