Volume: 1260 @ 500 Hz
Dyn range: 44 dB(A) to 166 dB
ANSI: S3.7
IEC: 60318-4

The GRAS 43AC-S7 Ear Simulator Kit with TEDS is a complete test-jig for hi-res measurements up to 50 kHz on earphones coupled to the ear by inserts such as tubes and earmolds.

Technology

The GRAS 43AC-S7 Ear Simulator Kit is a complete test jig for acoustically testing earphones coupled to the ear via inserts such as tubes and ear molds and is compatible with the following international requirements:

  • IEC 60318-4: Occluded-ear simulator for the measurement of earphones coupled to the ear by ear inserts.

43AC-S7 uses the RA0404 Hi-Res Ear Simulator which extends the useful frequency range to 50 kHz. Read more abot the RA0404 here.

The 43AC-S7 comprises:

The Test Jig has an adjustable spring-loaded arm to exert a variable force on the test object.

An externally polarized version is available, GRAS 43AC-S6.

TEDS Compatibility

43AC.-S7 is IEEE 1451.4 TEDS v. 1.0 compliant. If your measurement platform supports Transducer Electronic Data Sheets (TEDS), you will be able to read and write data like properties and calibration data.
