Calibration check for probe module
The calibration curve for the probe module is a comparison of the response of the probe microphone (with tube)
to the response of the on-ear reference microphone. Any change in the curve indicates a change in one of these
microphones (or the probe tube). See Calibration of on-ear probe microphone. As part of a regular calibration
schedule, or to investigate changing calibration curves, the on-ear reference microphone may be checked against
a high quality sound level meter.
