Pinna-Related Transfer Functions (PRTFs) reflect the modifications undergone by an acoustic signal as it interacts with the listener’s outer ear. These can be seen as the pinna contribution to the Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF). This paper describes a database of PRTFs collected from measurements performed at the Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics, Aalto University. Median-plane PRTFs at 61 different elevation angles from 25 subjects are included. Such data collection falls into a broader project in which evidence of the correspondence between PRTF features and anthropometry is being investigated.
