Adjusting Clamp Height and Force Adjusting the Clamp Height The distance of the spring-loaded clamp to the cheek plate can be adjusted continuously from 25 mm to 90 mm. Two pin lengths are supplied, one 40 mm and another 75 mm long. A distance between 25 to 55 mm can be achieved using the short pin, a distance of 55 mm to 90 mm can be achieved using the long pin.
The clamp can easily be removed with a small Phillips screwdriver and replaced with an RA0199 Finger Simulator, as shown in Fig. 9. Philips screw 90° Fig. 8. Measuring the force applied to the DUT.

Mounting the KEMAR Pinnae When mounting a pinna, ensure that the posterior part of the helix is positioned towards the arm. A standardized pinna as used with the 43AG-1 and 43AG-2 is mounted by simply pushing it into the recess. Ensure that the pinna is fl ush with the cheek plate. The anthropometric pinna used with 43AG-3 to 43AG-7 is mounted in the same way, but in addition to the push mounting, they must be secured by the two fi...

Calibration Do not attempt to remove the microphone from the Ear Simulator – you must calibrate the ear simulator as a complete unit. The instructions below assume that the 43AG is connected to power module and analyzer. 43AG-1 and 43AG-2 43AG-1 and 43AG-2 can be calibrated in situ using an RA0157 Calibration Adapter.
Refer to your Pistonphone’s manual for further information, including how to correct for baromet- ric pressure. The correction factor is - 1.03 dB. Ideally your analyzer should read 114 dB - 1.03 dB = 112.97 dB ± correction for ambient pressure. 2 2 | GRAS 43AG Ear and Cheek Simulator Instruction Manual...
43AG-5 Low-noise The instructions below assume that 43AG-5 is connected to power module, fi lter and gain unit and analyzer. System Sensitivity Since the microphone signal is amplifi ed by 20 dB by the 26HT Gain and Filter Unit, the nominal system sensitivity corresponds to 0.8 V/Pa.
