Omnidirectional
Description: Omnidirectional means that the microphone picks up
sound equally from all directions. This setting is perfect for
recording a group of musicians all playing at the same time, recording
a conversation between multiple parties around a room, a conference
call, or any other situations where you want to capture the ambience
of ‘being there.’ Because sound is picked up from all directions in this
mode, the orientation of the microphone isn’t crucial, but as a good
rule of thumb, start by orienting the front of the microphone at the
primary sound source you wish to record.
These charts are only a starting point for the sound provided. How the microphone reacts in a particular
application will differ greatly because of many variables, like room acoustics, distance from sound source
(proximity), tuning of instruments, mic cabling and other factors. For more tips on miking and recording
techniques, check out the Blue website.
