What is another word for cardioid microphone?
Pronunciation: [kˈɑːdɪˌə͡ʊɪd mˈa͡ɪkɹəfˌə͡ʊn] (IPA) 
A cardioid microphone is a type of directional microphone that is designed to pick up sound from a specific direction while rejecting noise from other directions. There are several synonyms for this type of microphone, including unidirectional microphone, directional microphone, and hypercardioid microphone. Unidirectional microphones are similar to cardioid microphones but have a tighter pickup pattern, making them ideal for highly noisy environments. Directional microphones also serve a similar function, but they are more versatile. Hypercardioid microphones are similar to cardioid microphones, but they have a narrower pickup pattern that allows them to pick up sound from a single point while rejecting noise from surrounding areas.
