The GRAS 43AC-S6 Ear Simulator Kit 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 earmoulds.
Technology
The GRAS 43AC-S6 Ear Simulator Kit is a complete test jig for acoustically testing earphones coupled to the ear via inserts such as tubes and ear moulds. It is compatible with the following international requirements:
43AC-S6 uses the RA0403 Hi-Res Ear Simulator which extends the useful frequency range to 50 kHz. Read more about the RA0403 here.
The 43AC comprises:
-
GRAS RA0403 Externally Polarized Hi-Res Ear Simulator
-
GRAS 40BP 1/4" Pressure Microphone (included in RA0403)
-
GRAS 26AC 1/4" Preamplifier
-
GRAS RA0001 Right-angled Adapter
-
GRAS RA0052 Test Jig
The Test Jig has an adjustable spring-loaded arm to exert a variable force on the test object.
A prepolarized version is available,.
