Sensitivity of speakers
- In all our labs we use the Cambridge Audio MINX MIN12 speaker.
- The speaker has a specified sensitivity of 86 dB SPL (@2.83 Vrms input and @ 1 kHz)
- The calibration is calculated @ 1Vrms input and depends one over the square of the distance of the speaker to the center of the subjects head.
Calibration = mag2db(db2mag(Sens@1V)/Distance^2)
Table: calibration (@ 1Vrms and 1kHz) in different labs.

Sensitivity of headsets
A commercial headset normally have a higher impedance than an audiological headset and therefore a higher sensitivity.

- The numbers are from the specs on the internet.
- The numbers between brackets are calculated from the difference between the 1mW and 1V sensitivity by: Sens(1V) = Sens(1mW) + 10*log10(R/1000)
