The New HEAD Seat Mount Adapter HSM V for Artificial Head Measurement Systems
The seat mount adapter HSM V was developed specifically for making safe and authentic artificial head recordings in a vehicle.
Thanks to the quick-lock coupling, the artificial head can be attached to the seat mount adapter in seconds, resulting in a position
resembling a real person sitting in the vehicle. Since different body postures lead to different acoustic impressions in the interior of a
vehicle, the HSM V is height-adjustable, and the angle can be adjusted by 30 degrees in the driving direction, allowing the artificial
head to take various postures with exact positioning. To avoid interfering friction noise, the seat mount adapter is designed to keep the
artificial head at sufficient distance from the backrest and to ensure a stable position on the seat. During the drive, the artificial head is
held in place with the safety belt or with an optional ISOFIX adapter.
