Abstract: Disclosed is a device of the dummy head type for recording sound. It comprises a supporting body fitted with an anatomically faithful imitation of the human auricle. The auricle is coupled to a channel inside the body. This channel opens into the imitated auricle and corresponded to an auditory meatus of anatomical construction and length. It further comprises a microphone arranged behind the channel, such that the position of the membrane of the microphone relative to the imitated auditory meatus and auricle corresponds as much as possible to the anatomical position of the human eardrum relative to the associated auditory meatus and auricle. According to the invention, the channel has an open end on the side of the microphone and the microphone is arranged in front of this open end. A dummy head according to the invention comprises two devices as described, with the supporting plate of each mounted on opposite sides of a dividing plate by means of a bracket.
