        measurements
    2 Reference coordinate system for the purpose of

        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
