We are looking to buy 04 DAQs. Specs as mentioned:
24 Bit, 4 channel, 04 low frequency microphone data as input, built in memory for data storage, most compact size, not more than 60 mm dimesnion from one side, low frequency 20-450hz input, 90-110db sound input, space qualified
Please advise the appropriate device for our application.

Can you please clarify what you mean by "space qualified"?
Do you plan to include this DAQ as part of a space (like satellite or rocket) instrument payload? Or use it in an aircraft? or use it to test assemblies that go into space or aeroplanes?
Do you know what certifications the DAQ must be compliant with for your application?

Thanks for responding. I am making a setup with signal generator, speaker then a sound sensor. The sound sensor will go into Data Logger to log the sound received by sound sensors. Later on, I want to analyze the reading logged by DAQ/ Data Logger. The complete setup will go to space. My objecitves are as mentioned above. I want a very compact Device to log the data which is also compatible with microphones and capable of storage

I assume you're part of a university sending a payload to outer space for experimentation.
A true space-grade component is export-controlled and not purchased online; I have read about CubeSats and similar satellites built from commercial-grade components and sent to outer space.
If you're an academic, you will need to use a commercially available datalogger to achieve your task. BTW, NI DAQ hardware requires a computer to log the data, and neither the compact nor the standalone version is suitable for your intents.
