omni directional microphone
An omni directional microphone is a type of microphone that captures sound equally from all directions. Its main functions are to provide a full 360-degree sound pickup, ensuring that every nuance of a sound is captured without bias towards any particular direction. Technological features include a pressure-gradient transducer, which responds to the pressure variations of the sound wave regardless of direction, and a rugged design that withstands various environmental conditions. Applications range from professional recording studios, where accurate sound reproduction is crucial, to everyday devices like smartphones and computers for clear audio during calls and recordings. In conferences and meetings, omni directional microphones are used to ensure that every speaker is heard clearly without the need for aiming the microphone directly at them.
