Figure 5: The upper curve group shows the horizontal directivity char-
acteristics of the 8020B measured at 1 m. The lower curve shows the 
systems power response.

Figure 6: The curves above show the effect of the “bass tilt”, “treble tilt” 
and “bass roll-off” controls on the free field response.
