Description
GRAS 45BB-5 Head & Torso for Ear- and Headphone Test, 2-Ch LEMO
Introduction
The KEMAR head and torso simulator was introduced by Knowles in 1972 and quickly became the industry standard for hearing-aid manufacturers and research audiologists (visit KEMAR.us to read the full story). It is based on worldwide average human male and female head and torso dimensions. It meets the requirements of ANSI S3.36/ASA58-2012 and IEC 60318-7:2011.The GRAS 45BB KEMAR Head and Torso has the same dimensions and acoustical properties as the original KEMAR, but has been developed further by GRAS to meet the industry’s demand for realistic measurements of hearing aids, headphones, and headsets. It provides acoustic diffraction similar to that encountered around the median human head and torso, both in the proximity and in the far-field.
As all the preconfigured 45BB KEMARs consist of the same basic 45BB KEMAR Non-configured, plus a set of application-specific accessories, the full information about a given KEMAR configuration is obtained by combining the information about the 45BB KEMAR Non-configured and the information for a given configured version as found in the present text.

Design
The 45BB-5 is a KEMAR head and torso for 2-channel ear and headphone test, with externally polarized ear simulators and large 55 Shore OO pinnae.
It is delivered fully configured, individually calibrated and ready for use. In addition to a system calibration certificate, a USB flash memory with simulation data is included.
The main configuration specific components of the 45BB-5 are the GRAS RA0045 Ear Simulator According to 60318-4 and the KB0066/KB50065 large pinnae.
The 60318-4 Ear Simulator
The acoustic input impedance of the RA0045 Ear Simulator closely resembles that of the human ear and, as a result, loads a sound source in very much the same way.
It complies with IEC 60318-4 and is measured and calibrated according to ITU-T P.57. It embodies a number of carefully designed volumes connected via well-defined and precisely tuned resistive grooves. In an equivalent electrical circuit, capacitors would represent the volumes, and inductance and resistance would represent respectively air mass and air flow within the resistive groves.

The KB0065/KB0066 Pinna
The KB0065 and KB0066 are large straight pinnae for use with a straight ear canal extension. The hardness is 55 Shore 00. They comply with the IEC and ITU-T recommendations.
The other accessories specific for this configuration are listed in the Ordering Info tab.
Performance and warranty
KEMAR is made of components from our standard portfolio, all manufactured of high-quality material and branded parts that were chosen and processed to ensure life-long stability and robustness. This enables us to offer 2 years warranty against defective materials and workmanship.Exceptions: Microphones included in KEMAR as for these our normal 5-year warranty apply. The warranty period for cables is 6 months.
