What are the differences between general purpose and low frequency accelerometers?

Low frequency accelerometers employ a larger seismic mass to increase the output from the sensing element assembly. This reduces the electronic noise from the amplifier and allows higher voltage outputs from the sensor. The higher voltage outputs of low frequency sensors help overcome data collector noise when measuring low amplitude signals. The tradeoff is a lowering of the resonance frequency.
