Toroid Pattern Applications
The toroid pattern rejects sound from directly above the microphone to reduce noise from video projectors or other
sources of unwanted sound. It is the simplest way to ensure equal coverage among all talkers, while retaining the
benefits of the rejection provided by a directional polar pattern. When this pattern is used, the audio is sent over a
single channel. Therefore, when automatic mixing is desired, configure the microphone to use multiple directional
patterns instead of the toroid pattern.
