Type A calibration:
• The output sound pressure level and frequency response are specified in terms of coupler level. See table below for
coupler/ear simulator used.
• The loudspeaker output is specified as measured under free-field conditions, at 1 m distance, and on the axis of the
loudspeaker.
• Bone vibrator output is not corrected to obtain a free-field equivalent sound force level; uncorrected output meas-
ured by an artificial mastoid (IEC 60318-6) is produced.
• Calibration of speech signals is performed using either a 1 kHz pure tone (earphones) or 1 kHz warble tone (loud-
speakers).

The maximum output levels from AURICAL Aud depend on the actual sensitivity of the individual transducers, and they
will be slightly different for each unit. However, the minimum requirements from IEC and ANSI standards are fulfilled for
all units.
They are specified in the following.
