All, I don't understand how a shotgun microphone attenuates the sound from the side. Is it possible to put that function into layman's terms for me? I know that the longer the shotgun tube the more efficient it is. My thoughts are that sound waves near the axis are allowed to pass down the tube with less interference than waves from the side. Perhaps the tube causes the wave to be reflected more often when it enters from the side? If the side wave is being redirected within the tube why doesn't that effect the waves on axis? 1GDW ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ |
