Page 10 - QE Headset Polar Pattern
Every microphone has a characteristic polar pattern that determines how well it accepts or rejects signals coming from various areas around the microphone.A type of design which is particularly good at rejecting background noise is the bi-directional polar pattern uti-lized by the QE Headset, asshow...
Page 11 - QV Headset Polar Pattern
Omnidirectional mics accept all signals regardless of wherever those signals originate (in front of the mic, behind it, to the side, etc.). In contrast, directionalcardioid mics are specifically designed to accept mostly signals coming fromdirectly in front, and to rejectsignals coming from behind o...
