    Abstract: A directional microphone with toroidal sensitivity characteristics which can be selectively distorted is constructed with an arrangement of acoustic tubes which sample an acoustic field at a number of separated points on an inner circle and at separated points on a concentric outer circle. The acoustic signals from the inner points are summed in a first acoustic cavity and the signals from the outer points are summed in a second cavity. The first and second cavities are separated by a foil electret or other electroacoustic transducer which produces a signal proportional to the difference in sound pressure between them. Several of the acoustic tubes may be adjusted to alter the shape of the microphone''s sensitivity pattern in the plane of maximum sensitivity and the entire acoustic system is selectively dimensioned to equalize the system''s inherent frequency response.
