Microphone Polar Patterns – A Complete Guide

Check out this Complete Guide To Microphone Polar Patterns from MyNewMicrophone.com 🙂

Each and every microphone has a polar pattern which determines the microphones “directionality” – from which directions the microphone picks up sound and from which directions the microphone rejects sound. Some mic’s give you several options of polar patterns.

Popular polar patterns include Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Bidirectional (Figure-8), Supercardioid, Hypercardioid, and Lobar/Shotgun.

Check out this guide for more detailed descriptions of each pattern as well as a TON more information. 😉
