  • Page 20: General Description

    General Description This section describes how the 45CC is designed. Instructions on how to assemble and make ad- justments are given in the section “Assembly and Adjustments” on page 25 onwards. Front View Fig. 1 shows the main height and width adjustments possible with the 45CC. The Headband Holder has 4 fixed positions on the vertical Neck superimposed on a continuous adjustment of 20 mm for any position within 60 mm from bottom to top position.
  • Page 21: Side View

    Side View Below is shown a side view of the 45CC configured with a 44AA Mouth Simulator is shown. The Headband Holder can be adjusted relative to the Ear Plates both horizontally and vertically. Hori- zontally it can be fixed in three positions, the adjustment range is 10 mm. This makes it possible to test headphones with narrow, mid-sized or wide headbands.

    Ear Simulator or the Flanges for 1/2” or 1/4” microphones. These have the same outer dimensions and are mounted the same way, with three screws and fasteners. There- fore, it is fairly easy to reconfigure a 45CC, for example from a version with 1/2” microphones to IEC 60318-1 ear simulators.
  • Page 24: The Microphone Holder

    The microphone and preamplifier are already assembled in the microphone holder that is used for mounting in the 45CC. They are calibrated as a whole, and each assembly has its serial number engraved on the rear face of the holder. (The engraving is not shown below).
