22、60318 specifies an acoustic coupler for the measurement of supra-aural audiometric earphones in the frequency range from 125 Hz to 8 000 Hz. The sound pressure developed by an earphone is not, in general, the same in the coupler as in a persons ear. However, the acoustic coupler can be used as an ob
23、jective and reproducible means of measuring the output of supra-aural earphones. It can be used for specifying reference equivalent threshold sound pressure levels (RETSPL) for the calibration of audiometers. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively refere
24、nced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

25、standard microphones ISO/IEC Guide 98-3, Uncertainty of measurement Part 3: Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM:1995) 3 Terms and definitions For the purpose of this document, the following definition applies: 3.1 acoustic coupler device for measuring the acoustic output of so
26、und sources where the sound pressure is measured by a calibrated microphone coupled to the source by a cavity of predetermined shape and volume which does not necessarily approximate the acoustical impedance of the normal human ear 4 Construction 4.1 General The coupler consists essentially of a cyl
27、indrical cavity whose acoustic transfer impedance is determined by the volume of air in the cavity and its dimensions (see 4.2). A microphone with a diaphragm having high acoustic impedance is located in the base of the cylindrical cavity. The coupler shall be made of a material that has no negative
28、 influences on its performance. For example it should be acoustically hard and dimensionally stable. The general construction BS EN 60318-3:2015 6 IEC 60318-3:2014 IEC 2014 of the coupler and mounting of the microphone shall aim to reduce the response to vibration of any earphone or to sound outside
29、 the cavity. In the following, the specified tolerance shall be reduced by an amount equal to the actual expanded measurement uncertainty of the test laboratory before deciding if a device conforms to this specification. 4.2 Cavity dimensions The critical dimensions (see Figure 1) of the coupler are
30、 those that determine the shape and volume of the cavity terminated by the microphone, the static pressure equalization mechanism, the upper edge (lip) and the 45 angle. The effective acoustic volume of the coupler shall be 5 780 mm3 130 mm3. The diameter d1shall be 23,825 mm 0,080 mm. Diameter d2sh
31、all be 18,55 mm 0,16 mm. The height l2shall be 1,950 mm 0,065 mm. The angle defining the slope of the external part of the coupler shall be 45 5,5. The height h of the coupler shall be calculated according to the following formula: 212eq141dVVV= h(1) where V1is the effective acoustic volume; Veqis t
32、he equivalent acoustic volume of the microphone; V2is the volume of the front cavity of the microphone, given by 222241ldV = (2) It is recommended that a value of h be selected from Table 1, according to the value of the equivalent acoustic volume of the microphone. NOTE 1 It is recognized that cert
33、ain combinations of coupler cavity and microphone could cause problems if the tolerance of the coupler diameter is exploited towards the smallest allowed diameter and at the same time, the tolerance of the microphone diameter is exploited towards the largest allowed diameter. Practical experience ho
34、wever, has proven that those problems are very unlikely to occur.

37、If the coupler described in this standard is constructed with a fixed value of h + l2= 13,41 mm regardless of the equivalent volume of the microphone, then the coupler will be identical with the NBS 9A coupler, see 11. The nominal effective acoustic volume of the type 9A coupler is: V1= Veq+ 5 640 m
38、m34.3 Static pressure equalization Any change in the static pressure within the cavity caused by assembly of the earphone to the coupler and microphone shall decay toward the static ambient pressure with a time constant of less than 1,5 s. If this necessitates the introduction of a controlled leak i
39、n the coupler, it shall have the following characteristics. a) It shall not alter the cavity volume by more than 20 mm3; b) It shall attenuate external sound reaching the cavity, with the entrance of the cavity blocked, by at least 16 dB at 100 Hz, increasing by 6 dB per octave for increasing freque
40、ncy. NOTE Equalization can be realized, for example, by a capillary tube with a diameter of 0,6 mm 0,05 mm containing a wire with a diameter of 0,4 mm 0,05 mm. 4.4 Calibrated pressure type microphone The overall pressure sensitivity level of the microphone and associated measuring system (e.g. pream
41、plifier) over the specified frequency range shall be known with a maximum measurement uncertainty not exceeding 0,2 dB for a level of confidence of 95 %. The internal shape of the base of the coupler shall correspond to that of the laboratory standard (LS) configuration specified in IEC 61094-1. NOT
42、E A WS1P microphone conforming to IEC 61094-4 2, without protective grid but with a coupler ring that converts the microphone to an LS1P configuration can be used. WS2P microphones conforming to IEC 61094-4 2 can also be used, provided that the LS1 configuration and the stipulated volume are preserv
43、ed, for example by using an adaptor. The microphone used shall have a high acoustic impedance, the equivalent acoustic volume being less than 200 mm3at frequencies between 125 Hz and 8 000 Hz. The manufacturer of the microphone shall state the equivalent acoustic volume. If it is necessary to use a
44、microphone for which the diameter of the free part of the diaphragm is less than the diameter of the coupler cavity, the axes of the microphone and the cylindrical cavity shall coincide The microphone to be used shall be stated by the manufacturer. There shall be an effective seal between the couple
45、r and the microphone. However, any obstruction in the static pressure equalization device of the microphone shall be avoided. _ 1Numbers in square brackets refer to the Bibliography. BS EN 60318-3:2015IEC 60318-3:2014 IEC 2014 9 5 Coupling of earphone to acoustic coupler The earphone to be calibrate
46、d shall be applied to the acoustic coupler without acoustic leakage with a force 4,5 N 0,5 N, not including the weight of the earphone itself (see Figure 2). If, for a specific earphone, a different coupling force is specified this shall be stated. The earphone shall not rest on the sloping side of
47、the acoustic coupler, but only on the upper edge (or lip, see Figure 2). In the case of earphones with a hard earcap, a thin film of sealing material or thin soft rubber ring should be used on the lip in order to produce an effective seal between the earphone and the upper edge of the coupler. NOTE
48、With some earphones, a special adapter can be used for coupling the earphone to the coupler, e.g. see 3.

49、nmental conditions are the following: IEC BS EN 60318-3:2015 10 IEC 60318-3:2014 IEC 2014 static pressure: 101,325 kPa temperature: 23 C relative humidity: 50 % 6.2 Method of calibration The manufacturer shall provide in an instruction manual a method of calibration for the complete acoustic coupler including the microphone, and for determining stability. The quantity to be measured and the calibration method may vary
