EIA/TIA-470.132:2013

This standard provides acoustic transmission performance requirements for headset equipped analog telephones intended for connection to terminal adapters and voice gateways that provide wideband speech using packet-based services such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). These services are often referred to as high definition or HD voice services. The specification range for this standard is 100 to 8000 Hz, but for practical reasons the actual audio bandwidth of covered devices is typically about 150 to 6800 Hz. The terminal adapters and voice gateways used to provide HD voice services normally present 600 ohm impedances and are connected to the wideband telephone with very short lengths of cabling. If the wideband telephone with headset is likely to be used in applications where it may also be connected to narrowband voice services, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN), that provide 900 ohm impedances and may use significant lengths of loop (cabling), then evaluation for compliance with the latest version of the ANSI/TIA-470.130 standard for narrowband analog telephones with headsets is suggested. The requirements in this standard apply to the headset and terminal taken together. They are not intended to be a specification for a headset as a component separate from the terminal with which it is used.
