If the wavelength of the frequency is longer than the tube length, the microphones work as pressure gradient transducers. At higher frequencies they operate as interference transducers for lateral sound. Off-axis sound sources are picked up with reduced level, but without coloration. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, the microphones are well suited to record individual instruments of an orchestra. The pickup areas of several shotgun microphones may even overlap as, for example, during recordings on a large stage, without causing any problem. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe KMR 81 is less sensitive to wind and pop noise when compared to the KM 150 miniature microphone with a similar high directivity.

The directional pattern of the microphone is lobe shaped. The attenuation of lateral sound is practically independent of the frequency.

If the wavelength of the frequency is longer than the tube length, the microphones work as pressure gradient transducers. At higher frequencies they operate as interference transducers for lateral sound. Off-axis sound sources are picked up with reduced level, but without coloration. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, the microphones are well suited to record individual instruments of an orchestra.
