Frequency response

Angle
Distance

Frequency response: from the spec sheet, p. 2. Titled "Frequency Response"; axis "dB re 1 V/Pa", but 0 dB through the mid band, so relative. The dB labels read 3, 0, -3, -9, -12, -15 on evenly spaced gridlines; read here as 3 dB per gridline. Distance and room not stated. Solid red line.

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"; 125, 250, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k and 16 kHz; rings every 2 dB from +5 to -24, scale "dB rel. 1V/Pa" from +5.0 to -25.0. Measuring conditions not stated.
