Acoustical Calibrators & Couplers "We've been using the DR1 and DR2 couplers to calibrate our audiometers and to conduct measurements with various earphone types since 1998. The couplers are well suited for a variety of applications and customer support from Digital Recordings has been excellent." Quenton Currie, M.Sc., Aud(C) Audiologist, Audiology Department, Janeway Child Health Center, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada Any serious measurements involving SLMs (Sound Level Meters), headphones, earphones and microphones require proper calibration (i.e. adjustment of the input and/or output level) and routine checkup of the equipment. Audio electronics (amplifiers, mixers, etc.) and transducers (mics, headphones, earphones and hydrophones) change properties with time. Routine testing with acoustical calibrators is, therefore, required to ensure accuracy and safety.

Professional Couplers The Digital Recordings' Acoustical Calibrators Set is precision hand -made in Canada of high-quality aluminum. The oil ring provides a proper seal between the calibrator and the microphone or the sound level meter. The Acoustic Calibrator Set consists of 2 calibrators : DR1 -- a flat face calibrator which can be used with any type of headphones and DR2 -- a 2cc cavity calibrator which can be used with any type of earphones. Both acoustic couplers work very well with any inexpensive Sound Level Meters available from Radio Shack stores or any other type of sound level meter or microphone with a similar diameter. Smaller diameter microphones can be used with optional custom-made adaptors. Precision of the calibration depends on the quality of the measuring equipment and can be within the range +/- 0.1 dB to +/- 1dB (or better). DR1 dimensions - 120 mm diameter, 14 mm thickness, 310 g weight DR2 dimensions - 32 mm diameter, 23 mm thickness, 25 g weight Couplers accomodate microphone diameters of 23.84 mm (0.939") found on such SLM's as Radio Shack or B&K. Custom diameters are available to fit other SLM's or microphones. DR1 with Radio Shack SLM and AKG-K270 headphones DR2 with Radio Shack SLM and SONY earphones

Semi-Professional Coupler In addition to the Acoustical Calbrators Set Digital Recordings offers Acoustical Calibrator DR1-R -- an inexpensive calibrator made of high-quality rubber. The precise hole provides a proper seal between the calibrator and the microphone or the sound level meter. This inexpensive calibrator was especially designed for precise calibration of signals including volume calibration featured in Digital Recordings' AUDIO-CD -- the self-administered hearing test.

The Acoustic Calibrator DR1-R works very well with any inexpensive SLM (Sound Level Meter) available from Radio Shack stores or any other type of sound level meter or microphone with a similar diameter.Smaller diameter microphones can be used with optional custom-made adaptors. Precision of the calibration depends on the quality of the measuring equipment and can be within the range +/- 0.1 dB to +/- 1dB (or better) DR1-R dimensions - 75 mmm diameter, 25 mm thickness, 150 g weight DR1-R accomodates microphone diameters of 23.84 mm (0.939") found on such SLM's as Radio Shack or B&K. Custom diameters are available to fit other SLM's or microphones. DR1-R with Radio Shack SLM, AKG-K270 headphones and SONY CD player DR1-R with Radio Shack SLM

Some of the uses of DR1, DR2 & DR1-R very accurate testing, calibration and comparison of sound level meters very accurate testing, calibration and comparison of testing and recording microphones very accurate testing, calibration and comparison of headphones and earphones very accurate testing, calibration and comparison of Audiometers and signals from the AUDIO-CD (compact disc for testing of hearing) calibration and adjustment of maximum safe levels of sound from headphones and earphones very accurate testing of hearing and critical listening For diagrams showing how to use DR1, DR2 & DR1-R click here.
