Abstract

In one aspect, opposing microphones may be mounted within a synthetic human ear. The synthetic human ear may form part of a head and torso simulator (HATS) system used for measuring output of any sound source, such as those embodied in headphones or loudspeakers. The opposing microphones may be used to calculate sound intensity and/or sound power, rather than just sound pressure level. The determined sound intensity/power can then be used to research and/or develop audio products, and/or quantify how a sound source is perceived regardless of acoustic loading on the HATS.
