Polar Patterns

The JLab Talk PRO offers multiple polar patterns for versatile recording:

Cardioid: Captures sound primarily from the front of the microphone, rejecting sound from the sides and rear. Ideal for single-person vocals or instruments.
Omni: Captures sound equally from all directions around the microphone. Useful for capturing ambient room sound or group discussions.
Stereo: Captures sound from the left and right channels separately, creating a wider stereo image. Suitable for recording music or ASMR.
Bidirectional: Captures sound equally from the front and back of the microphone, while rejecting sound from the sides. Ideal for interviews with two people facing each other.

Usage Tips

For optimal audio capture, ensure correct microphone placement:

Incorrect Position: An illustration shows the microphone positioned incorrectly, perhaps sideways or too far from the source, indicating suboptimal sound capture.
Correct Position: An illustration shows the microphone positioned correctly, directly facing the sound source (e.g., a person's mouth), indicating optimal sound capture.
