Cardioid

Cardioid is a directional microphone pickup pattern that captures sound primarily from the front while reducing sound from the sides and rear. It is widely used for vocals, podcasting, and live sound, helping to control background noise and reduce feedback in both studio and performance environments.

Shotgun

Shotgun microphones are highly directional microphones designed to capture sound from a specific source while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. They are commonly used in film, television, broadcast, and location recording where isolating dialogue or a sound source is essential, even in noisy environments.

Using an interference tube design, shotgun mics deliver a tight pickup pattern with strong focus and clarity over distance. This makes them ideal for boom operation, on-camera use, and outdoor recording, where placing a microphone close to the subject is not always possible while still maintaining clear, natural audio.
