Frequency response

Angle
Distance

Frequency response: from the spec sheet, p. 2. Titled "Frequency Response"; axis "dB re 1 V/Pa", but the curve is drawn about 0 dB at 1 kHz, so relative. Distance, room and smoothing not stated.

Dashed: outside the rated range, or simulated (other angles and distances). Hover or tap the graphs for values.

Polar pattern

Polar pattern: from the spec sheet, p. 2. Titled "Polar Pattern"; six frequencies; rings every 2 dB, labelled -2, -10 and -20. Measuring conditions not stated.
