Cardioid microphone
[Film Technology]  



So called because its sensitivity pattern is heart shaped, another name is uni-directional microphone. Microphone whose directivity pattern of microphone (polar diagram) is heart shaped, resulting in maximum sensitivity at the front and very low sensitivity at the rear.

Accessories   : mike mounting swivel bracket, `gun’ tube.  30mm and 130mm extension tubes. Foam an metal mesh wind shields.
Dimensions    : 147 mm long .18mm diameter. 

Weight            : 120gm. 

Finish              :  Matt. 

Some degree of directionality is introduced to produce a heart shaped response curve. These are widely used in TV studios because when pointed at an artist their ‘dead’ side of microphone can be directed more-or-less towards areas of noise in the studio. They are widely used in booms, and here `dead’ side is primarily of value of rejecting studio reverberation. So that for a given sound perspective, the microphone can be used farther from the performer than an omni-directional microphone could be.
