Figure 4. The upper curve group shows the horizontal directivity 
characteristics of the 1032B in vertical configuration measured at 1 m. 
The lower curve is a 1/3 octave band power response, measured in an 
IEC approved reverberation chamber.

Figure 5. The upper curve group shows the effect of the bass tilt 
control on the free field response. The lower curves show the effect 
of the treble tilt and bass roll-off controls.
