Polar Patterns

Cardioid Bidirectional
For best low-frequency response and rejection
of background noise, place the microphone on
a large, flat surface, such as a floor, table, or
lectern.
To reduce reverberance, avoid reflective surfaces
above or to the side of the microphone, such as
beveled sides of pulpits or overhanging shelves.
