The microphone can hear best from the front. (A shotgun mic is a good example)
Audio: microphone which is designed for an improved signal to noise ratio over omnidirectional microphones. Unidirectional, or directional, microphones have a either a cardioid, hyper-cardioid or ultra-cardioid polar pattern.
A type of microphone which will only pick up sounds from one direction, usually directly in front. Loosely used as a synonym for cardioid (qv).
Strength lying mainly in one direction. A glass reinforcement in which the fiber is oriented in one direction.
Type of microphone that records sound mainly from in front. The point being that its catchment covers a wide area.
Describes a device which radiates or receives energy more efficiently from a single direction than from all other directions.
Refers to thepick-up pattern of a microphone that is more sensitive to sound arriving from one direction than from any other.
Refers to fibers that are oriented in the same direction, such as unidirectional fabric, tape or laminate. Often called UD.
A mic that picks up sound primarily from one direction.
Refers to a microphone that only picks up sound from the front to help reduce unwanted sound from being picked up & reduce feedback.
A pick-up pattern which is more sensitive to sound arriving from one direction than from any other.
Highly selective microphone pickup pattern, which rejects sound coming from behind while absorbing that from in front. The most common pattern for unidirectional microphone is the cardioid pattern.
An anchor that is secure in only one direction
All of the fibers are oriented in the same direction.
A directional microphone pickup pattern, similar to that of a cardioid pattern, where sound to the rear of the microphone is rejected.
Operating in one direction only.
Unidirectional means allowing flow in only one direction. One way streets are unidirectional. So are transistors.
