Unidirectional
(Cardioid) microphone
is used that the target
sound source pick up
directly in front of the
microphone, and all
other sounds from sides
are largely rejected.

Omnidirec-
tional microphone will
pick up sound from all
directions or sides
around the microphone.
Users can speak into
any side of the
microphone.

Both unidirectional and omnidirectional
microphones have their advantages and disadvan-
tages. The important thing is to know the applica-
tion of the microphone in use to know which would
be better for the given situation around.
