Because amplitude varies directly with sound pressure ( A = k < sub > 1 </ sub > P ) and sound pressure varies directly with distance ( P = k < sub > 2 </ sub > d ), such that amplitude also varies directly with distance ( A = k < sub > 1 </ sub >( k < sub > 2 </ sub > d ) = k < sub > 1 </ sub > k < sub > 2 </ sub > d ), the amplitude of the sound as perceived by the listener will be greatest when the speaker is at the point in its rotation closest to the listener and least when the speaker is farthest away.
