Mikron5 ground microphone

Manufacturer: Ovarro
Mikron5 – Advanced Acoustic Leak Detection Precision & Performance Mikron5 is the next-generation acoustic ground microphone, designed for fast and accurate leak detection in buried and pressurised water mains. Using wireless sensor communication, it allows users to quickly pinpoint leaks on-site before excavation. Superior Sound Quality With crystal-clear audio feedback, Mikron5 helps operators distinguish real leaks from background noise, reducing false detections and improving efficiency. GPS Tracking & Data Management Precise GPS mapping records each leak’s exact location and sound file. Excavation and survey data can be uploaded to the Atrium platform for full traceability and documentation. Bluetooth Connectivity Low-energy Bluetooth enables real-time visualisation of dB levels on a tablet, providing mobility and accuracy during fieldwork. Compact, Lightweight & Reliable Small, portable, and durable – Mikron5 is ideal for leakage teams and contractors who need professional-grade performance in any environment. Upgrade your leak detection with Mikron5 – combining advanced technology, clear sound, and seamless data integration for smarter, faster, and more reliable results.
