2019年6月25日 · Discover the lobar or shotgun microphone polar pattern. Learn its directional characteristics with practical microphone examples.

Shotgun microphones typically have a supercardioid polar pattern, which means they are a bit more directional than cardioid mics and have a small lobe at the rear. What gives a shotgun microphone the ability to reject sound from the sides even better than a simple supercardioid polar pattern is the interference tube.

2016年5月17日 · Engineer Matthew Koschak explains shotgun microphones: how they work, common misperceptions, and how to choose the right one for your application.

2024年7月5日 · Shotgun microphones are directional polar pattern mics that pick required sounds with ultra clarity while rejecting the surrounding noises. These high-sensitive unidirectional mics are concentrated on the sound source without getting interrupted or interfered with.

2024年1月10日 · A shotgun microphone features a highly directional pickup pattern. Simply put, it isolates the sound source from sounds like wind, rain, or general street noise. This makes them ideal for capturing clear audio in outdoor environments.

2021年8月7日 · A shotgun microphone is the most familiar example of a class of microphones known as line microphones, in which sound reaches a microphone element via multiple ports arranged along a line. The ports break up incident sound into separate components which recombine at the microphone element.

2024年2月6日 · Sound direction matters most with a shotgun pattern. Microphones with a shotgun pattern pick up sound intensely from the front center and back center, with very little sensitivity on the...

2022年12月14日 · Short shotgun microphones have an extremely directed pattern. They have a far wider field of fire than standard handheld microphones. These specific microphones perform best at a height of 2 to 3 feet, with no more than 3 12 or 4 feet overhead.

2023年9月18日 · Unlike other mics that pick up sound from all directions, shotgun microphones are incredibly focused. Their key principle is their highly directional polar pattern, which means they capture sound from a very narrow area in front of them.

2024年12月11日 · The design of a shotgun mic often features a long, narrow pickup pattern, which is achieved through interference tubes placed in front of the microphone capsule. These tubes help to cancel out sound waves arriving from the …
