Omnidirectional characteristics

• The mic is sensitive to sound from all directions

• The sound remains more or less the same regardless of the distance

between the sound source and the mic

• The positioning of mic with omni characteristics is less critical than with

directional

• An omnidirectional microphone is generally not very sensitive to wind,

breathing, pop and handling noises

Directional characteristics

• Rejects background noise and creates higher separation

• The mic is most sensitive to sound on one side (marked on some variants)

• The positioning of mics with directional characteristics is essential as the low

frequency level will change according to the distance to the mouth, known

as proximity eect

• Choose a distance that yields the desired amount of bass

• Care should be taken to protect against wind and pop noise e.g. by using

a windsceen
