No, I believe they are saying that localization in the stereo field
will be negatively impacted with too much space between the wall of the
zeppelin & the mic. This sounds extreme to me, but I believe they are
saying that a sufficiently large amount of air between the capsule &
the zeppelin boundary would constitute an ambience of its own, thus
possibly altering the phase & amplitude localization cues we receive &
rely upon to accurately judge distance & direction, in stereo. I think
it would be irrelevant in mono. I would imagine it would require an
enormous amount of space for this to really be an issue, like a couple
feet, but Rycote must have some experience with this to mention it.
