Directivity Factor/Index for Shotgun Mics
What are the directivity factor/index values for short shotgun and for long shotgun mics? I can't find this figure mentioned anywhere for shotgun mics. If a typical shotgun is equivalent in directivity to a 2nd-order super-cardioid, then it would be around 2.8 according to http://books.google.com/books?id=fcO..._CLk#PPA109,M1

check http://www.microphone-data.com/ for, um, microphone data ... includes polar patterns with gain/distance for various frequencies.

Using the term "distance factor" rather than "directivity factor" or "directivity index" produces more results.
This article is mainly interested in speech intelligibility and finds short & long shotguns to have a distance factor of about 3. http://www.canford.co.uk/blueprinton...3/bigears.aspx I presume the lack of a difference found between the short & long shotgun was due to the speech frequency range used and the interest in reducing the reverbant sound level rather than say unwanted low-freq traffic noise pickup. STI (Speech Transmission Index) was the used as the measurement. |

Douglas Spotted Eagle, in this article, gives the distance factor of a line mic as 2.5.
