2019年6月25日 · A cardioid microphone has a unidirectional cardioid polar/pickup pattern. It is most sensitive to on-axis sounds (where the mic “points”). It's generally 6 dB less sensitive to the sides with a null point to its rear.

2023年12月10日 · The cardioid polar pattern is named after its heart-shaped response pattern. It is the most commonly used polar pattern in recording studios and live performances. The cardioid microphone is most sensitive to sounds coming from the …

2023年12月6日 · A cardioid polar pattern is a commonly used microphone pickup pattern that is shaped like a heart, hence the name “cardioid.” It is designed to capture sound from the front of the microphone while rejecting sound from the sides and rear.

2019年6月22日 · The cardioid polar pattern gradually decreases in sensitivity from its 0° point (on-axis) to its 180° point (completely off-axis). At its sides (90° and 270°), the ideal cardioid polar pattern is 6 decibels less sensitive to sound than it is to sound on-axis (0°).

Mic 3 has a cardioid pattern – meaning the green area in front of the mic is most sensitive, the sides are less sensitive, and the rear is ignored. Other than the 3 basic patterns, you also see: Supercardioid – which is like cardioid, but NARROWER, with a small bulb of rear sensitivity.

2017年7月25日 · Microphones with cardioid polar patterns are perfect for a single sound source, like one singer or speaker. They work especially well in these situations: The supercardioid pickup pattern is very similar to the cardioid, except it is even more focused toward the front of the mic.

2024年12月5日 · What is a Cardioid polar pattern? If you studied Latin in high school, you’d know that all “cardioid” means is “heart-shaped.” That describes the basic shape of this type of microphone’s pickup pattern. A cardioid pickup pattern can record sound from the front and sides of …

In this post, we will look at 3 microphone polar patterns – cardioid, figure-eight, and omni. You’ll learn how to read polar pattern graphs and interpret the specs. In the video above, I’ve set up audio demonstrations so that you can hear each pattern for yourself.

2022年1月14日 · What is cardioid? The cardioid polar pattern is the most common polar pattern on microphones and is a 1:1 combination of omnidirectional and bidirectional. The combination of these two polar patterns creates a heart-like pattern (where the term ‘cardio’ originates for this pattern) when plotted on a 360-degree sphere.

2023年12月18日 · What is a Cardioid Pattern? A cardioid pattern is a polar pattern that resembles the shape of a heart, with the microphone’s sensitivity focused on the front and reduced at the sides and rear. This pattern is designed to capture sound primarily from the direction it’s pointed, while minimizing unwanted noise from other directions.
