Figure 3: The upper curve group shows the horizontal directivity char-
acteristics of the 8040B 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”, “desktop low frequency” and “bass roll-off” controls on the free field
response.
