Ok, so what happens when you take a copper tube and just screw the
math and start cutting slots into it to build a interference tube
shotgun mic?

I ran out of fine sawblades as these break about every 6" I cut.
But I came close to completion.
Ran it through the cooledit/audition to test the results.
This was not a controlled test and was just done in my work area at 10
feet from the speaker.
The mic "on" target with the tube showed a 10 db cut from 3 to 5.5
thousand cycles compared to the matched one mounted above. It
performed about the same in the rest of the spectrum.
"Off" axis the mic off target with the tube showed a 20 db cut from 3
to 5.5 thousand cycles comapred to the matched one mounted above. It
performed about the same in the rest of the spectrum.
Translated this means it will continue to be something fun to play
with but Walt is right in that it will take better quality mics to
play in shotguns.
