Hi Vicki--
The NT1-A, NT2-A, NT2000 mics are fashioned after studio mics which
have "side address" capsule orientation. Here's a photo
http://recordinghacks.com/images/mic_extras/telefunkenusa/TK12_capsule.jpg
You can see that the diaphragm surface is rotated 90 degrees compared
to most front addressing field mics so that its parallel to the side
of the mic body.
"Perpendicular to Sphere," (abbreviated, Perp2Sphere) alludes to the
diaphragm being perpendicular to the sphere's boundary surface.

Me too. The array truly transforms the "sound" of the 3032's compared
to "free air" mounting options like Jecklin and the other other
boundary mic arrays I've tested so far. Rob D.
