The ‘CAL’ position is with all tone controls set to ‘off’ 

  

 

and input sensitivity control to maximum and  

 

 

corresponds to a maximally flat free field response.

 

Figure 3: The upper curve group shows the horizontal directivity char-
acteristics of the 8030A measured at 1 m. The lower curve shows the 

systems power response.

Figure 4: The curves above show the effect of the “bass tilt”, “treble tilt” 
and “bass roll-off” controls on the free field response.
