It's a handheld pink noise-like generator with small transducer. There's a pencil taped to the side of it for placing the erasor end on the mic capsule grill. That keeps the distance equal on all the mics. For this generator and the level I need for the DSD converter, we shoot for -26.5 on the Sonoma audio range meters.
