cardioid microphone

Then a single cardioid microphone is placed on axis, bisecting the figure-8 pattern.

Here, four cardioid microphones, 90 degrees relative to one another, are placed in square formation, separated by 21-25 cm.

These compensate for the bass roll-off of the cardioid microphones and also add expansiveness.

It was recorded using a very simple Philips cassette recorded with a single cardioid microphone.

All four cardioid microphones are backward facing and angled at 60 degrees from one another, therefore similar to a semi-circle.

Hypercardioid: A narrower heart-shaped pick-up pattern than that of cardioid microphones.

Alternatively, backward facing cardioid microphones can be placed closer to the front array for a similar reverberation pickup.

For full periphonic (four channel) B-format, there is another way to go about it with four separate cardioid microphones.

The most common unidirectional microphone is a cardioid microphone, so named because the sensitivity pattern is heart-shaped.

The NHK (Japanese broadcasting company) developed an alternative technique also involving 5 cardioid microphones.

This array uses back to back cardioid microphones, one facing forward, the other backwards, combined with either one or two figure-eight microphone.

A cardioid microphone, it captures sound in a vaguely heart-shaped pattern that picks up most of the sound from the front, and some from the sides.

Being the world's first dynamic cardioid microphone, it possessed excellent sonic qualities for that time, making its way into radio stations and recording studios from across the world.

The surround microphones are backwards facing cardioid microphones, that are placed 40 cm back from the L and R microphones.

The array consists of 5 spaced cardioid microphones, 3 front microphones resembling a Decca Tree and two surround microphones.

A carefully shaped frequency response includes a voice-frequency presence peak and a low-frequency rolloff to compensate for the proximity effect inherent in cardioid microphones during close-talk operation.

A cardioid microphone exhibits an acoustic pickup pattern that, when graphed in two dimensions, resembles a cardioid, (any 2d plane containing the 3d straight line of the microphone body.)

Issue: June 2000 AKG C2000B Microphone Paul White tries out AKG's versatile new back-electret, fixed cardioid microphone.

When implemented using a cardioid-patterned microphone, it emphasizes low-frequency sounds in the voice due to a cardioid microphone's Proximity effect (audio) and can give a more relaxed feel because the performer isn't working so hard.

ABSTRACT: This tutorial discusses the operation of several types of condenser microphone including standard omnidirectional measuring microphones, simple cardioid microphones, and studio microphones with adjustable response pattern.

The INA-5 (Ideal Cardioid Arrangement) is a surround microphone array that uses five cardioid microphones resembling the angles of the standardised surround loudspeaker configuration defined by the ITU Rec.

The first model was the KTM small cardioid, later followed by the "fet 70" series-transistorized versions of small omnidirectional, cardioid and speech cardioid microphones as well as a "U 77" transistorized version of the U 67.

ORTF combines both the volume difference provided as sound arrives on- and off-axis at two cardioid microphones spread to a 110 angle, as well as the timing difference as sound arrives at the two microphones spaced 17 cm apart.

A cardioid microphone is effectively a superposition of an omnidirectional and a figure-8 microphone; for sound waves coming from the back, the negative signal from the figure-8 cancels the positive signal from the omnidirectional element, whereas for sound waves coming from the front, the two add to each other.
