All microphones exhibit at least some directional characteristics at 
certain frequencies.  This is why I couched my statement with "considered 
to be".  Astatics definition of "semidirectional", while being pragmatically 
accurate, is not accurate in standard microphone nomenclature.  The JT-30 
was not designed to cancel out sound from undesired directions.  (Key 
words: DESIGNED and CANCEL)

BTW, I like your pun (semi-corrected vs semidirectional ;-)
