 ===== Polar Patterns ===== ===== Polar Patterns =====
  
 +==== Cardioid ====
 +Cardioid mics have great rejection to the back of the mic. They are great for keeping extra noise from the stage out of the mic.\\
 +Microphones with this pattern include:
 +  * [[sm58|SM58]]
 +  * [[sm57|SM57]]
 +  * [[ksm8|KSM8]]
 +  * [[ew835|E835]]
 +  * [[sm137|SM137]]

 +{{:​cardioid_pic.png?​300|}}
  
 +----
 +==== Super-Cardioid ====
 +Super-Cardioid has more rejection than the Cardioid but develops a small lobe directly to the back of the mic.\\
 +Microphones with this pattern include:
 +  * [[beta52a|Beta 52A]]

 +{{:​supercardioid_pic.png?​300|}}
 +
 +----
 +==== Hyper-Cardioid ====
 +Hyper-Cardioid has even more rejection than the Super-Cardioid but also has a larger lobe to the back of the mic.\\

 +
 +----
 +==== Omnidirectional ====
 +Omnidirectional miss pic up equally around the entire mic.\\
 +Microphones with this pattern include:
 +  * [[dfine|DPA d:fine]]
 +  * KSM137
 +  * SM81
