Microphone

1. Jenis-Jenis Microphone

1.1.Berdasarkan polar-pattern

A microphone's directionality or polar pattern indicates how sensitive it is to sounds arriving at different angles about its central axis. The polar patterns illustrated above represent the locus of points that produce the same signal level output in the microphone if a given sound pressure level (SPL) is generated from that point. How the physical body of the microphone is oriented relative to the diagrams depends on the microphone design. For large-membrane microphones such as in the Oktava (pictured above), the upward direction in the polar diagram is usually perpendicular to the microphone body, commonly known as "side fire" or "side address". For small diaphragm microphones such as the Shure (also pictured above), it usually extends from the axis of the microphone commonly known as "end fire" or "top/end address".
Some microphone designs combine several principles in creating the desired polar pattern. This ranges from shielding (meaning diffraction/dissipation/absorption) by the housing itself to electronically combining dual membranes.

-          Cardiroid

Istilah cardiroin berasal dari istilah cardiac (heart), hal ini disebabkan oleh bentuk polar pattern-nya yang menyerupai bentuk jantung. Adapun cirri-ciri dari tipe mic ini antara lain:

Suara masuk hanya dari depan

Paling sering dipakai dan sangat dianjurkan

Ada tanda di leher / box microphone

-          Sub cardiroid 
        Karakteristiknya, antara lain:

-       Super cardiroid
