Highly directional response patterns can be obtained by connecting microphones or loudspeakers with tubular coupling path structures. The coupling paths comprise a plurality of elements (110,111 . . . 157) arranged in pairs (110,111; 112,113; . . . 156,157) so that for every element (110) below a center line (102) there is an element (111) above the line. Furthermore, the relationship between the element pairs is nonlinear. The desired directional response comprises one main lobe and a plurality of substantially smaller lobes below a determinable threshold value. The elements may be a bundle of tubes (90) or a plurality of apertures (110,111, . . . 157) in a single tube (100). |
