A new string of heists targeting museums has sparked fear in exhibitions worldwide. To combat this recent surge in high stakes thefts, a new acoustic sensor solution was proposed. Based on close-space acoustic monitoring, the new sensor can indicate any unruly attempt to distort the showcase at hand. Be it museum items, lab subjects or technological equipment- this sensor will alert any sudden change in the environs of the exhibited.
A new wave of high stakes museum heists has hit numerous museums worldwide these past weeks. As unparalleled items made in Imperial France from the Louvre museum, Bronze Age artifacts form St. Fagans National Museum based at Cardiff, Wales, and over 1000 indigenous objects from Oakland Museum’s storage facility, a California based establishment, were looted. Additionally, all items bore cultural and heritage related significance- many of whom were jewelry made from precious metals and stones. Causing fear and a public outcry in curating spheres.
Notwithstanding, a month before all of these happened, a Chinese woman was charged with theft of items from the Museum of Natural History in Paris. The theft of six gold nuggets was evaluated at approximately 1.5 Million Euros in total. For this acute need for showcase protection E.D.E. Electronics, alongside it’s sensor visionary strategic partner SOUND COMPONENTS LIMITED, had responded.
E.D.E is proud to present a new archive and physical storage monitoring solution based on SOUND’s Electret Condenser Microphone technology. Dubbed “OM9765GB442P-03”, this acoustic sensor solution is especially built for the detection of glass penetration or hinderance to thin cased storage. As This Condenser Microphone has a task-tailored specially designed form aimed to achieve high frequency response.
Alternatively, entirely different from mundane microphone products, this condenser microphone has a Typical Frequency response curve that sets it apart from it’s more tradition-based contemporaries. In addition, this solution has a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of 60 dB. In parallel, it offers sensitivity levels of -46 dB at Minimum, -44 dB at center or on average and -42 dB at Maximum.
