45CA-3 Headphone/Hearing-protector Test Fixture, IEC 60318-1 LEMO

45CA-3 is configured for measurement of insertion loss of circum-aural hearing protectors and 
the sound quality of headphones, with two RA0039 Ear Simulators with 40AG 1/2” externally 
polarized microphones. 

The configuration conforms with IEC 60318-1. The RA0039 cannot be used with a pinna simula

-

tor, and therefore cannot be used for measuring in-ear earphones.

45CA-3 is delivered fully configured, individually calibrated and ready for use. 

The following configuration-specific items are included:
