What is a TYPE 3.2 Ear?
The Type 3.2 Ear Simulator provides a controlled leak to simulate “the average real ear loss for telephone handsets which are held either firmly (low leak version) or loosely (high leak version) against the human ear.”
Microtronix offers the Type 3.2 Ear solution for the following products:
- Telephone Acoustic Tester
- Wireline Phone Test System
- IP-II Phone Test System
- Custom Acoustic Applications
When is the Type 3.2 Ear Required?
The Type 3.2 Ear may be used for production or quality assurance testing to provide a realistic ear leakage test environment. Microtronix recommends the use of the Type 3.2 Ear in production and quality assurance testing to the requirements of specifications such as ANSI/TIA-470-C, TIA/EIA-810-A, TIA-920, GSM11.10 and others. Many of these standards require testing with a Head and Torso Simulator (HATS), but for most production and quality assurance testing environments this is not practical; testing with the Type 3.2 Ear is a reasonable alternative that can provide similar results.
What are the Advantages of the Type 3.2 Ear Solution?
The Microtronix Type 3.2 Ear solution allows customers to test their handset products with a controlled acoustic leak. Telephone designers need to select a leak-tolerant transducer during the design phase of products intended to meet the requirements of these standards. Testing these products with a Microtronix Test System with the Type 3.2 Ear option will verify quality performance.
