Unidirectional
(Cardioid) microphone
is used that the target
sound source pick up
directly in front of the
microphone, and all
other sounds from sides
are largely rejected.
Omnidirec-
tional microphone will
pick up sound from all
directions or sides
around the microphone.
Users can speak into
any side of the
microphone.
Both unidirectional and omnidirectional
microphones have their advantages and disadvan-
tages. The important thing is to know the applica-
tion of the microphone in use to know which would
be better for the given situation around.
