8020A
Input connector: XLR female, pin 1 gnd, pin 2 +, pin 3 -
balanced 10 kOhm
Output connector: XLR male, pin 1 gnd pin 2 +, pin 3 -
balanced 100 Ohm
Input level for 100 dB SPL output @ 1m
-6 dBu at volume control max
Volume control range -80 dB relative to max output
Output signal level is 0 dB relative to input signal level
but adjustable by volume control
Crossover frequency 3.0 kHz
Treble tilt control operating range 0 to –2 dB @ 15 kHz
Bass roll-off control –6 dB step @ 85 Hz
(to be used in conjunction with a 7050B subwoofer)
Bass tilt control 0 to –6 dB @ 100 Hz in 2 dB steps
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 8020A 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.
