Positioning Aids on HF HATS – Types 5128-C/D Only

Fig.2.8 shows the positions of threaded fixing holes (all M3-threaded) which are provided at

various locations on HF HATS. These allow attachment of user-designed support structures for the

devices under test, if required. To help position devices under test, HF HATS has grids marked in

centimetres both horizontally and vertically around both ears.

Data Disk Supplied with HATS

Each Type 5128 comes with a data disk containing calibration data as well as other relevant data

in ASCII format. The data disk contains calibration measurements for the mouth simulator, the

right ear simulator (Type 4620-R), and the left ear simulator (Type 4620-L). The calibration data

supplied is listed in Table 2.2. Only the listener free-field frequency response and the talker

frequency response (TFR) are measured individually for each HATS. The other measurements are

typical, and are stored in the ‘Typical Data’ directory. The variation between different HATS is

small and is mainly due to sensitivity variations between the ear simulators. Because of this, the

individual measurements can be used to ‘correct’ the typical measurements for a particular HATS.

Dividing the individual data in the file ‘LFR R-5128-C-111- xxxxxxx.csv’ by the 0 degrees typical

data in the file ‘LFR R, EL+0, AZ 0-360.txt’ will reveal the variation from the typical right ear

simulator sensitivity. This correction curve can be multiplied by any other ear measurements to

‘correct’ the typical curve. The same procedure can be applied for the left ear simulator.
