Figure 1 — Polar Response

The directional response of the Xb was measured in an anechoic environment at a distance of 6.1 m (20 ft.) using 1/3-octave-filtered pink

noise with a full spherical measurement  system. The polar response of the loudspeaker system at selected 1/3-octave frequencies is

shown. The selected frequencies are representative of  the polar response of the system.
