Summary:

Recommendation ITU-T P.57 specifies the electroacoustical characteristics of artificial ears to be used for telephonometric measurements. Three devices are specified: a telephone band type for measurements on traditional telephone sets, an insert type and a type faithfully reproducing the characteristics of the human ear. The latter type (Type 3) is specified in four configurations. The requirements of the third one (Type 3.3 - Pinna simulator) have been slightly modified in this revision of Recommendation ITU T P.57 by specifying its construction by a softer elastomer. Besides this, the description of the applicability of all couplers has been changed, now allowing for an overlap in their usability according to the receiver type under test.
