What is the difference between SuperCardioid and Cardioid and what do they mean? The unidirectional microphone is most sensitive to sound arriving from one particular direction and is less sensitive at other directions. The most common type is a cardioid (heart-shaped) response.

2022年11月10日 · Supercardioid microphones get their name from their unique "polar pattern" (also known as its "pickup pattern"). A microphone's polar pattern determines how much sound it will pick up from any direction.

Supercardioid microphones are highly directional and provide even greater isolation and rejection of sound from the sides and rear than cardioid microphones. They also have a tighter pickup angle and a more pronounced rear lobe or null, which makes them ideal for capturing sound from a single source and rejecting ambient noise and feedback.

2019年6月25日 · A supercardioid microphone has a very directional supercardioid polar/pickup pattern. It is most sensitive to on-axis sounds (where the mic “points”) with null points at 127° and 233° and a rear lobe of sensitivity. Supercardioid mics …

2024年3月8日 · Supercardioid mics are often used for overhead miking. Their narrow pickup angle does a good job of precisely capturing the drum kit’s sound. Plus, they emphasize the cymbals very accurately while handling the sound bleed from other instruments.

2023年12月21日 · The key difference between a cardioid and supercardioid mic is simply the polar pattern (i.e., the degree of sensitivity relative to the direction or angle of sound arriving at the microphone). A cardioid microphone is most sensitive to sounds coming in front of the mic and least sensitive to sound coming at the back.

Supercardioid and hypercardioid mics offer tighter front-directional capture, with supercardioid being less sensitive at 125 degrees and hypercardioid at 110 degrees off-axis. They’re suitable for loud stages where feedback and background noise rejection is important.

Cardioid vs Supercardioid. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of cardioid and supercardioid microphones: Cardioid microphones are ideal for picking up vocals or speech, thanks to their ability to reject sound from the rear. They are also more …

2025年3月11日 · Both cardioid and supercardioid microphones are unidirectional, meaning they are most sensitive to sound coming from the front (0°). Both patterns are designed to reject sound from the sides and rear, helping to isolate the intended sound source.

2022年6月22日 · Super cardioid mic is a type of directional condenser microphone. It differs from omnidirectional in that it has a considerably smaller pickup area, blocking the off-axis sounds. In this article, we will explain what super cardioid mic is and include the topics below: What is it? The interpretation to the supercardioid pattern graph.
