Pickup Pattern Directional Characteristic Use When
Omnidirection
al
Picks up sound with equal sensitivity from
all directions
Participants are likely to move around, or when additional
sound sources are located away from the microphone.
The omnidirectional pattern performs best in a quiet, con-
trolled environment. Note: Omnidirectional channels are
not sent to the automix channel.
Toroid
Picks up sound from the edges of the mi-
crophone, while rejecting sounds from di-
rectly above it.
Rooms have a higher level of ambient noise, or when
noise from above is a concern (a video projector, for ex-
ample).
Bi-directional
Captures sound on two opposite sides of
the microphone in a figure-8 pattern
Two talkers are facing each other, sitting on opposite
sides of a table. The bi-directional pattern provides better
off-axis rejection than the two talkers setting, but does not
allow independent gain adjustment for each talker.
