About

The polar pattern is the shape of a mic's field of sensitivity, or the directions from which it accepts or ignores incoming sounds. An omnidirectional mic responds to sounds coming from all directions. A bi-directional picks up sounds from east and west while excluding sounds from north and south. A unidirectional mic primarily hears sounds from one direction and excludes sounds from other directions. Unidirectional mics are the most common type, and they come in three polar patterns: cardioid, supercardioid and hypercardioid . All three of these patterns reject rear-axis and off-axis sounds coming from behind the mic or from the sides. Dynamic mics use an inductive coil connected to a diaphragm and placed within the field of a permanent magnet. As the diaphragm moves, it moves the coil, thus varying the voltage the coil produces. These subtle shifts in output voltage shape the mic’s output.
