Polar Patterns

The JLab Talk microphone offers multiple polar patterns for different recording scenarios:

  • Cardioid: Best for capturing sound directly from the front, rejecting sound from the sides and rear. Ideal for vocals or single-source recording.
  • Omni: Captures sound equally from all directions. Suitable for conference calls or capturing ambient sound.
  • Stereo: Captures sound from the left and right channels separately, creating a wider soundstage.
  • Bidirectional: Captures sound from the front and rear of the microphone, while rejecting sound from the sides. Useful for interviews with two people facing each other.

Microphone Placement

For optimal audio quality, position the microphone correctly. [Diagram: Illustration showing incorrect and correct microphone placement relative to the sound source, with the correct position indicated by a checkmark emoji ✔️.]
