Horn loaded microphones?

The membrane of a microphone has a different impedance than air.


This makes a mismatch with reflection of energy.


A horn can do acoustic impedance matching.


Phil Collins can be seen using his hands in front of his mouth to direct the sound to the microphone. Possibly it can be seen on the In my Life - George Martin documentary on YouTube.


How would it sound like to record many musicians gathered near a horn and the other side of the horn to a top,quality dynamic microphone?


A big horn, eg 2 square meters.
