    sensitivity level calibration based on free-field
    measurements
2 Reference coordinate system for the purpose of
    practical measurement of random-incidence sensitivity
    level based on free-field measurements
A.1 A sound level meter located with its microphone at
    the centre of a sphere and a reference direction for
    sound incidence aligned with the X-axis
A.2 A sound level meter under test mounted on a turntable
    to obtain incidence of sound from different directions
    in the X-y plane
A.3 Method of simulating rotation in the X-Z plane by 90
    degrees rotation of the sound level meter under test
    around an axis coincident with the reference
    direction, and then rotation around a circle in the
    X-Y plane as in figure A.2

Describes a free-field calibration method for determining random-incidence sensitivity and a diffuse-field method for diffuse-field sensitivity.
