С 2024 года измерения полноразмерных наушников в RAA проводятся не только на инструментальных стендах, но и вживую с помощью разработанной системы в RAA - Live Measurement System. Это позволяет увидеть реальное поведение наушников и их вариативность звучания относительно стандартных стендов. Результаты таких измерений в отчетах обозначаются как со стендов Human. В этом отчете - это:
Т.к. АЧХ зависит от посадки наушников и их прогрева/износа, то в RAA была разработан универсальный комплект Live Measurement System
для контроля своих наушников на собственной голове. Типовые комплекты доступны для приобретения.

More detailed
Measurements of Bowers & Wilkins P5 were carried out by Roman Kuznetsov on the hardware-software complex RAA.
The Bowers & Wilkins P5 test was conducted as a black box test, without regard to cost and prestige. This is the basic principle for making measurements, measurement reports and developing tests in RAA.
I believe that it is important to do not make an absolute assessment of the device, but an aggregate assessment when working together with a source amplifier and taking into account external factors. This allows you to effectively reveal the potential of the entire set of devices or to make a more optimal choice of components.
