In Use

Polar Patterns

The Talk PRO supports multiple polar patterns for different recording scenarios:

Cardioid: Optimized for recording from the front, rejecting sound from the sides and rear. Ideal for single-voice capture.
Omni: Captures sound equally from all directions. Suitable for conference calls or ambient sound.
Stereo: Records separate left and right channels for a wider stereo image.
Bidirectional: Captures sound from the front and rear, rejecting sound from the sides. Useful for interviews with two people facing each other.

Diagram Description: Four circular diagrams illustrating polar patterns: Cardioid (front focus), Omni (all directions), Stereo (left/right), and Bidirectional (front/back).

Microphone Placement

Ensure proper microphone placement for clear audio. Position the microphone directly in front of the sound source.
