High-frequency Head and Torso Simulator (HATS) Type 5128 family, with built-in realistic ear and mouth simulators, provide a realistic reproduction of the acoustic properties of an average adult human head and torso. High-frequency HATS is designed for in situ electroacoustics tests and can cover the full audible frequency range (up to 20 kHz).

Tabletop HATS is a torso-less head that is supported on a foot. Suitable for testing all types of headphones, 5128-B can be used free standing on a desk, fitted on a tripod or on a turntable using a tripod mounting adapter. Tabletop HATS is configurable and includes two ear simulators.

Support foot UA-2180 is available as an optional accessory for HF HATS Types 5128-C and -D.

The head geometry of Type 5128-B complies with ITU-T Rec. P.58, IEC 60318-7 and ANSI S3.36-1985.

Type 5128 and ear simulator Type 4620 have been approved by ITU-T as standardized solutions for the requirements of P.57 (ear simulator standard) and P.58 (HATS standard), meaning that they can now be used for statutory approval of communication devices, such as mobile phones, for use in mobile phone networks.

Type 4620 ear simulator forms the basis of a new standard ear simulator type 4.3 and uniquely allows accurate human ear impedance loading up to 20 kHz.

Another notable feature of the type 4.3 ear simulator is that the full average ear canal geometry has been defined and specified in the standard. This allows better evaluation of the physical shape of products inserted into the ear, such as ear buds and hearing aids.

The design of Type 4620 is a complete revision of the previous type 3.3 ear simulator based on extensive studies involving multiple human subjects and correlating ear canal geometries and acoustic impedance measurements. The result is a revision of the average human response over the entire frequency range, not just the previously undefined high frequency region above 8 kHz.

The result is much more realistic evaluations of audio performance as perceived by humans.

Measurement of the audio response of headphones in exactly the way a human would perceive the quality. This allows designers to identify and correct anomalies in headphone design that lead to artefacts in the frequency response. The new ear canal design provides the most benefits to designers of in-ear headphones, where the geometric fit is crucial to the evaluation
