1SCOPE
This standard provides speakerphone acoustic performance requirements for Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) intended for analog connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). These requirements should ensure compatibility and satisfactory performance to the user in a high percentage of installations. Test measurement methods reference procedures in IEEE Std 1329 where applicable.
This document proposes or references at least one measurement procedure for each technical requirement. However, these procedures are not exclusive. Any measurement procedure and equipment that can result in an identical measurement is considered valid.
While the procedures may call out specific test points within the requirements, the full range of the requirements take precedent.
This standard is primarily intended to be used for evaluating single user speakerphones normally used at a distance of one half meter or closer. These requirements are not intended for Cordless handset speakerphones or multi-user conference speakerphones.

3.2Definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply.
Artificial Mouth: A device consisting of a loudspeaker mounted in an enclosure having a directivity and radiation pattern similar to those of the average human mouth. (See ITU-T P.51)
Active Speech Level (ASL): Long term average speech level which does not include pauses or silences. It is the time integral of the instantaneous power over the active time, divided by active time, in decibels relative to the appropriate reference. (See ITU-T P.56)
dBA: Sound pressure level in decibels, relative to 210-5 Pa, using A-weighting. (See Annex A)
dBm: Power level in decibels, relative to a power of 1 mW (milliwatt).
dBmp Power level in decibels, relative to a power of 1 mW, using psophometric weighting. (See Annex A)
dBPa: The sound pressure level, in decibels, of a sound is 20 times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the pressure of this sound to the reference pressure of 1 Pascal (Pa). Note: 1 Pa = 1 N/m2
dBSPL: The sound pressure level, in decibels, of a sound is 20 times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the pressure of this sound to the reference pressure of 2 X 10-5 N/m2 (0 dBPa corresponds to 94 dBSPL)
dBV: Voltage level in decibels, relative to 1 volt rms.
Mouth Reference Point (MRP): A point on the axis of the mouth simulator, 25 mm in front of the center of the equivalent lip plane.
Off-Hook: The state of the CPE when the hook-switch is closed. Refers to the state of a particular CPE rather than the line state.
On-Hook: The state of the CPE when the hook-switch is open. Refers to the state of a particular CPE rather than the line state.
Off-hook noise: The internally generated noise of the telephone set. It is the psophometric weighted signal power delivered to a specified termination (SETP) in the absence of an acoustic input into the telephone set.
Reference Triangle: The Reference Triangle is the physical dimensions for the placement of the measuring microphone face and the MRP plane of the artificial mouth from the device. The dimensions are 40cm horizontal, 30cm vertical, which provides a distance of 50 cm to the device, see Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Reference Volume Control Setting 0 km (VC Ref 0km): The quietest volume control setting that produces a receive level of at least 65 dBSPL with a P.50 test level of -18 dBV with a 0 km artificial line.
Reference Volume Control Setting 2.7 km (VC Ref 2.7km): The quietest volume control setting that produces a receive level of at least 65 dBSPL with a P.50 test level of -25 dBV with a 2.7km artificial line.
Reference Volume Control Setting 4.6 km (VC Ref 4.6km): The quietest volume control setting that produces a receive level of at least 62 dBSPL with a P.50 test level of -32 dBV with a 4.6km artificial line.
Speakerphone: A device that facilitates two-way voice communication between persons over the public switched telephone network without contacting the user’s head.
