Testing FM Systems with FONIX 6500-CX Analyzers

1.6 Directional: Testing FM+ENV

This section contains a description of the different coupler measurements of FM systems
when the client primarily uses the system with the environmental microphone added to the
FM signal (FM+ENV mode). These measurements are:

•

Response of aid with 65 dB SPL signal at 1 kHz

•

Response of FM transmitter/receiver with 65 dB SPL signal at 1 kHz

•

Verify increase of FM transmitter/receiver when signal level is increased to 80 dB
SPL.

•

EHA65: typical electroacoustic response of the aid

•

EFE80: typical electroacoustic response of the FM transmitter/receiver

•

EEF65: typical electroacoustic response of environmental microphone

•

EHA90: saturation electroacoustic response of the aid

•

EFE90: saturation electroacoustic response of the FM transmitter/receiver

•

EEF90: saturation electroacoustic response of environmental microphone

1.6.1 Single frequency output of hearing aid

1. Set up the aid for testing according to the hearing aid setup described in Section

1.4.1. The FM transmitter should be off and the hearing aid set to receive input from
the hearing aid microphone. Make sure you level the sound field speaker.

2. Press

[MENU].

3. Use

[

∨

] to highlight MODE.

4. Use [<, >] to select PURE TONE.

5. Press [MENU] to exit from the Quik-Probe II Menu.
