Set the analyser to either wide band or to the ⅓ octave band whose centre frequency is 250 Hz. When conditions are stable, note the reading in millivolts. For a microphone of nominal sensitivity (12.5 mV/Pa) and a nominal Pistonphone signal of 114 dB, an approximate value for the RA0056 Low-leak Pinna Simulator is: • 95 mV (representing a drop of ≈ 2.4 dB)
