The lines on a plot (map) showing continuous level. In a speaker plot, it shows the pattern where the sound is a given level lower than the direct center (on-axis) at a given frequency. For microphones, the isobars on the plot show the relative sensitivity at different angles off axis (based on frequency). Usually isobars are given in increments of 3 or 10dB.

Compare with isotope. A contour line that corresponds to values measured at identical pressures. For example, curves on a plot of gas volumes measured at different temperatures in an open container are isobars. Nuclides that have the same isotopic mass but different atomic number.
