3.3 Kardioidalna charakterystyka kierunkowa

The EM-200N utilizes a cardioid polar pattern. This design primarily picks up sound from the front of the microphone, while significantly reducing sound capture from the sides and rear. This helps to isolate the desired sound source, minimize background noise, and achieve clearer recordings. Position the microphone with the front (where the controls are located) facing the sound source.
