As the headphones market continues to grow, and more companies are working on frequency response correction and emulation for headphones, the requirements for reliable and calibrated test fixtures are also increasing. A recognized leader in the segment, GRAS Sound & Vibration has just launched new variations of its popular GRAS 45CC headphone test fixture, allowing for the incorporation of pinnae along with other new features.

Like the previous conference that was held in 2016 in Aalborg, Denmark, the Audio Engineering Society (AES) Headphone Technology Conference in San Francisco, was a very successful and insightful event for all the participants. The Presidio park venue was also idyllic with the usual crisp waterfront weather. Perhaps too successful, as the event was sold out before it opened.

GRAS Sound & Vibration, the world-renowned manufacturer of high quality measurement microphones and related acoustic equipment, announced the availability of a new, High Resolution Ear Simulator designed specifically to meet the need for reliable and repeatable measurements of personal audio devices at high frequencies. An ideal solution for development of in-ear as well as supra- and circumaural headphones.
