LMIC listening stick

Manufacturer: HMW
LMIC is a lightweight and affordable acoustic leak detector that combines a ground microphone and listening stick in one versatile device. Designed for everyday leak detection work, it offers both precision and simplicity for field technicians.
Description

The system can be equipped with a tripod base for use as a ground microphone, or with probe rods for listening on fittings and softer ground surfaces. This flexibility makes LMIC ideal for locating underground leaks and performing standard acoustic surveys.

The hand-held control unit features an ergonomic “trigger” design with sensitivity and volume adjustment, and a status LED for power and battery indication. Its clear, amplified sound allows operators to identify leak noise directly from the surface without excavation.

For additional safety, the LMIC “i” version provides enhanced electrical insulation through an acetol isolation disc and insulated probe rods – perfect for environments where electrical protection is required.

Each LMIC kit is supplied complete with:

  • Control unit

  • Microphone with cable

  • Tripod base

  • Two probe rods

  • AC charger

  • Professional-grade headphones

  • Carrying case and manual

The LMIC “i” version includes all the above plus insulated accessories and an isolation block for extra protection.
