IEC 60318-1:1998 pdf free download.Electroacoustics - Simulators of human head and ear -Part 1: Ear simulator for the calibration
of supra-aural earphones.
4.5 Material
The ear simulator shall be constructed of a hard, stable, non-magnetic material such as brass.
4.6 Measurement plane
The plane of the microphone diaphragm shall be understood to represent the entrance of the mean human ear canal.
4.7 Example of desIgn
A specific example of the ear simulator is shown in annex B.
5 Coupling of earphone to ear simulator
The earphone to be calibrated shall be applied to the ear simulator without acoustic leakage with a force 4,5 N ± 0,5 N, not
induding the weight of the earphone itself. If, for a specific earphone, a different coupling force is specified this shall be
stated.
The earphone shall not rest on the sloping side of the ear simulator, but only on the upper edge (or rim).
In the case of earphones with a hard earcap, a thin film of sealing material or thin soft rubber ring should be used on the lip in order to produce an effective seal between the earphone and the upper edge of the coupler.
