Headphone Testing

Type 5128 is a head and torso simulators with built-in ear simulators that provides a realistic reproduction of the acoustic properties of an average adult human head and torso. When used with an input-output LAN-XI module and our PULSE-based Electroacoustic Testing Software Type 7797, it enables you to determine a variety of headphone characteristics in situ. Characteristics include:

  • Output response
  • Frequency response
  • Harmonic distortion
  • Intermodulation
  • Acoustic loading
  • Simulated insertion responses
  • Left/right tracking
  • Background noise insertion loss

The system can be configured to support EN 50332, a European standard on the maximum sound pressure level permitted from portable audio players.
