Line Microphones

Harry F. Olson

A line microphone is a microphone consisting of a large number of small tubes with the open ends, as pick-up points, equally spaced along a line and the other ends connected by means of a common junction to a transducer element for converting the sound vibrations which converge upon the junction into the corresponding electrical variations. Several types of line microphones with the useful directivity along the line axis are described as follows: a simple line, a line with progressive delay, and two lines with progressive delay and a pressure gradient element.
