Designed for Safe In-Circuit Measurements

SONIC2500 and SONIC4000 models feature a high-impedance reference connection, enabling browsing of energized circuits without risk of shorting to earth ground. This makes them ideal for sensitive nodes and power electronics debugging.

SONIC1000 and SONIC1500 provide the same low loading performance and serve as excellent general-purpose active probes.

Exceptional Signal Integrity

With input capacitance as low as <0.6 pF, SONIC probes minimize circuit loading and preserve waveform integrity.

The high input impedance between tip and reference ensures accurate probing of sensitive, high-speed nodes without disturbing circuit operation.

Wide Bandwidth Options

Choose the performance level that fits your application:

SONIC1000 — >1 GHz
SONIC1500 — >1.5 GHz
SONIC2500 — >2.5 GHz
SONIC4000 — >4 GHz

All models offer a 10:1 attenuation ratio and are compatible with any 50 Ω oscilloscope or measurement system.

Extended Voltage Measurement Range

When used with a PMK multi-channel power supply, SONIC probes support remote-controlled DC offset (±12 V or ±15 V), extending the measurable voltage window without sacrificing resolution.

Power Supply & Remote Control Options

SONIC probes require a PMK power supply.

Available options:

✔ PS-Series Power Supplies

USB interface (standard)
Optional LAN interface
Enables remote offset control and advanced functionality

✔ AP-01 Battery Pack

8 hours portable operation
Electrically isolated use
No remote-control functionality

Remote control is enabled via PMK software solutions.

Flexible Contacting & Accessories

A wide range of tips, adapters, and contacting accessories allows reliable measurements across diverse test setups.
