The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried
21、 out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO

Overall latency between the analogue input (microphon
40、e) to the analogue output (headphone) shall not exceed 10 ms.All sound pressure levels (SPL) referred to in this document are based both on a nominal input level between 85 dBSPLand 115 dBSPLat 30 cm speaking distance, and on the use of passive headphones with an impedance of 32 ohms and a throughpu
41、t between 95 dBSPLand 115 dBSPLper milliwatt.4.2 Frequency responseThe overall interpreting system excluding the microphones and headphones shall correctly reproduce audio-frequencies between at least 125 Hz and 15 000 Hz 3 dB, high-pass with attenuation of at least 12 dB per octave for frequencies
42、below 125 Hz in order to improve speech intelligibility.The microphone and the headphones shall correctly reproduce audio-frequencies between 125 Hz and 15 000 Hz 10 dB.2 ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 20109:2016ISO 20109:2016(E)4.3 Amplitude nonlinearityThe system shall be free of perceptibl

46、e relevant indicators.The console may be either freestanding on or integrated into the working surface. The surface of the console shall be matte and non-reflecting.It shall be possible to quickly and easily service or replace a malfunctioning console or its microphone without impairing the function
47、ing of the rest of the system.The console shall be fully and equitably usable by non-sighted persons, as well as persons with low vision, anomalous colour vision, or age-related degeneration of vision. It shall be easy to operate and not require manual dexterity from users.For further requirements r
