Show Cone And Falloff
The cone denes the microphone’s pickup area. With this option you can dene whether, in the
viewport, the effective range (cone and falloff range) of the microphone, as well as its handles, are
displayed. The option is enabled by default. Disable the option to avoid clutter in complex scenes.
Outer Cone, Outer Angle
Enable Outer Cone to limit the pickup area of the microphone within the cone dened by the Outer
Angle. Possible values lie between 0° and 180°, but cannot fall below the value for the inner angle.
Inner Cone, Inner Angle
In order to dene an inner angle, you must rst enable Outer Cone.
With this value you have the option to dene the inner pickup angle. Within the cone dened by this
angle the recorded sound has maximum volume, thereafter it recedes gently until it reaches the edge
of the cone dened by the Outer Angle. The permissible values for this angle lie between 0° and 180°,
but cannot exceed the value for the Outer Angle.
