A microphone having unique polar response characteristics has a virtual axis of maximum pickup sensitivity which is angularly displaced from its physical horizontal longitudinal axis. Forward and rearward movement of a diaphragm is sensed by a sensing element mounted in spaced relationship to a rear side of the diaphragm. A substantially enclosed cavity is formed between the diaphragm rear side and the sensing element, with a non-symmetrical arrangement of at least one aperture for permitting sound pressure waves to enter said cavity, so that the polar response curve of the microphone in a horizontal plane is angularly displaced about a line perpendicular to the microphone's horizontal longitudinal axis. |
