CAL291 Refernce Manual About This Manual 1-1
CHAPTER
1Introduction
The Larson Davis Model CAL291 Residual Intensity
Calibrator satisfies the residual intensity test device
specifications of both IEC 1043:1993 and ANSI S1.9-1996.
About This Manual
This manual has 3 chapters and 1 appendix covering the
following topics:
•Chapter 1 - Introduction: Orients the user to the contents
of this user manual and the features, functions and
measurement capabilities of the CAL291. It also
includes instructions on unpacking the CAL291.
•Chapter 2 - Description: Provides a physical description
of the CAL291.
•Chapter 3 - Operation: Describes the setup and
operation of the CAL291.
•Appendix A- Specifications: presents the technical
specifications of the CAL291.

1-2 Features CAL291 Refernce Manual
Features
The Larson Davis Model CAL291 Residual Intensity
Calibrator has the following features:
• Applies the same signal with zero phase difference to a
pair of 1/2” or 1/4” microphones
• Can be driven by external signal generators such as the
following:
- Larson Davis Model SRC20 Signal Source
- Analog or digital signal generator modules available
for the Larson Davis Models 2800, 2900, 3000+ and
3200 portable real-time analyzers.
• Built-in amplifier provides sound pressure levels to 122
dB
Applications
• Generation of signals for verification of the amplitude/
phase accuracy of multi-channel acoustic measurement
systems
• Amplitude/Phase Normalization: The digital filters of the
Larson Davis analyzers provide both amplitude and
phase, permitting the measurement of the complex
transfer function between two measurement channels,
including microphones, in the 1/3 octave frequency
bands. By using the CAL291 to excite both microphones
simultaneously, the amplitude and phase differences
between the two measurement channels can be
determined as a function of frequency. From this
information, a correction function can be generated
within the analyzer to correct for any amplitude and
phase errors which may have existed between channels
prior to the normalization.

CHAPTER
2Description
The physical description of the CAL291 is presented in
this chapter. Operational information is presented in
Chapter 3 “Operation” on page 3-1
General Description
The CAL291 has a flat shape factor for optimal use on a
table or desktop. In use, the sound intensity probe of the
intensity measurement system to be evaluated is laid flat on
the table with the two microphones inserted into the
microphone ports of the CAL 291 as shown in Figure 2-1.
