- Cardioid Polar Pattern
- Picks up the most sound in front of the microphone and some from the sides. Less susceptible to feedback in high volume environments.
- OmniDirectional Polar Pattern
- Equally sensitive to sound from all directions, but cannot be "aimed" to isolate one area.
- SuperCardioid Polar Pattern
- Screens unwanted sound sources. Ideal for individual instruments in a multi-microphone setting, or single sources in noisy environments.
