GRAS RA0045-S6 Prepolarized Ear Simulator Based on IEC 60318-4 (60711), High Sensitivity
Standards: IEC 60318-4 (based on), ITU-T P.57
Eff vol: 1260 mm³ @ 500 Hz
Res freq: 13.5 kHz ±1 kHz
The GRAS RA0045-S6 Prepol Ear Sim IEC 60318-4, High Sensitivity is an ear simulator with an acoustic input impedance closely resembling that of an average human ear. The RA0045 includes a 40AD pressure microphone and each RA0045-S6 is individually calibrated with this specific microphone.
Technology
Introduction
The RA0045-S6 Prepol Ear Simulator IEC 60318-4, High Sensitivity is a special type of ear simulator for making low level acoustic measurements on earphones coupled to the human ear by ear inserts such as tubes, ear moulds, or ear tips. It has an input impedance closely resembling that of an average human ear, and, as a result, loads a sound source in very much the same way.
It is based on the requirements of IEC 60318-4 "Occluded-ear simulator for the measurement of earphones coupled to the ear by ear inserts."
The RA0045-S6 is measured and calibrated according to the ITU-T Recommendation P.57.
Design
The RA0045-S6 embodies a number of carefully designed volumes connected via well-defined and precisely tuned resistive grooves. In an equivalent electrical circuit, capacitors would represent the volumes, and inductance and resistance would represent respectively air mass and air flow within the resistive groves.
It includes a GRAS 40AD 1/2" Prepolarized Pressure Microphone, High Sensitivity. Each RA0045-S6 is individually calibrated with this specific microphone.
Typical Applications and Use
The RA0045-S6 is for measurements on earphones and hearing aids coupled to the human ear by ear inserts such as tubes, ear moulds, or ear tips.
In accordance with ITU-T Recommendation P.57, the RA0045-S6 can be used with the following GRAS pinna simulators for testing telephones:
- GRAS RA0056 Low-leak Pinna Simulator.
- GRAS RA0057 High-leak Pinna Simulator.
A comprehensive range of accessories for making measurements in accordance with IEC 60318-4 are available. See the tab Ordering info.
Compatibility
The RA0045-S6 can be used with a standard CCP preamplifier, e.g. the GRAS RA0003 Adapter or the right-angled GRAS RA0001 Adapter
