Hi David,

yes, depending on the exact position of the tube relative to the microphone=
 capsule, it will of course affect the frequency response and the pick-up p=
attern a bit.

I actually use a shorter "roof" in the field:

Yes, that's true. The microphones that I use for this application are more =
or less omni-directional and for the intended application (monitoring bat a=
ctivity) it should make no big difference.

But I would agree that it would not make much sense to use such a tight tub=
e on a shotgun mic because it would then inhibit its interference tube.
