Operation Instructions

Turn on the amplifier and the sound source.  Point the dish to one side of the classroom.  Tell the students to pay attention as you sweep the dish across the classroom.  Then tell the students to raise their hand when they think the sound is the largest as you sweep the dish across the classroom a second time.  It should be observed that the loudest sound is concentrated directly in front of the dish.​
