“Thats three points short of a majority, and an almost-sure presidential nomination. The score include 34 percent in first-choice votes, and 14 percent in second-choice votes.”
Not really seeing a point at pick up that sound - all have some rear and side pick up sound...
Omnidirectional: Picks up equally in all directions. 7pts-Omni.gif (2306 bytes)
Half-omnidirectional or hemispherical: Picks up equally over a 180 spherical angle. This is the pickup pattern of PZMs. 7pts-Halfomni.gif (1843 bytes)
All of the following patterns are considered unidirectional because
they pick up mainly in one direction.
Cardioid: Heart-shaped pattern that offers maximum rejection (null) at the rear of the microphone. 7pts-Cardioid.gif (2773 bytes)
Supercardioid: Has a narrower pickup pattern than cardioid, but also has some rear pickup. Note that there are two nulls of maximum sound rejection. 7pts-Superc.gif (3003 bytes)
Hypercardioid: Has a narrower pickup pattern than supercardioid, but also has more rear pickup than supercardioid. Note that there are two nulls. 7pts-Hyperc.gif (3075 bytes)
Half-unidirectional: The pickup pattern of PCC microphones. 7pts-Halfcard.gif (1699 bytes)
Bidirectional (figure-eight or cosine): Picks up mainly in two directions (in front of and behind the mic) and rejects sound from the sides.
