We Make Microphones

Since the company was established in 1994, we have been 100% dedicated to develop and manufacture high-quality measurement microphones and related acoustic equipment.

Tradition

We are located in Denmark and founded by the Danish acoustics pioneer, Gunnar Rasmussen who for more than 60 years has contributed to the world of sound and vibration with his unique ideas and designs. In 1956 Mr. Rasmussen designed the first reproducible 1” condenser measurement microphones. And the commercialization of these measurement microphones enabled quality measurements and instrumentation which could be acoustically calibrated and accredited.

Mr. Rasmussen’s ingenuity and understanding of not yet spoken customer needs soon lead to the world’s most popular and probably most copied acoustic sensor: The 1/2” measurement microphone. Then the 1/4” and 1/8” microphones followed with outstanding dynamic and high-frequency capability that brought higher definition and transparency into impulse noise diagnostics. Many variants have been made available over the years; all based on Gunnar Rasmussen’s original 1” pressure microphone design.

Innovation

At G.R.A.S., we and our customers benefit daily from Mr. Rasmussen’s exceptional understanding of acoustics, physics, electronics and measurement needs. Not only in our R&D department but in the entire house we are proud to develop, produce and offer the broadest range of high-quality measurement microphones and accessories in the industry. And as a family company, now owned and managed by the two sons, Per Rasmussen and Peter Wulf-Andersen, we safeguard our heritage and knowledge to help create new opportunities with our customers. We work with everybody who has an interest in sound or noise within the fields of aerospace, automotive, audiology, consumer electronics, noise monitoring, building acoustics and telecommunications, metrology, education, consultancy, legislation and system integration.

Quality

All our microphones are solely produced in stainless steel and in a quality that allows for a 5 year warranty. Should you by mistake damage the diaphragm on a G.R.A.S. microphone, our special technique enables repair at a very reasonable price. A fact often valued not only by the users but also by their purchase departments who are guaranteed a long term investment with equipment from G.R.A.S.
