directional microphone

A directional microphone is designed to pick up sound primarily from one specific direction while minimizing noise from other angles. Think of it like a spotlight focusing on a particular speaker, allowing it to capture clearer audio of the source in front of it. This feature is useful in environments with background noise or when you want to isolate a particular sound, such as a person's voice, from surrounding sounds. Different types, like cardioid or hypercardioid microphones, have varying levels of focus, helping improve sound clarity in recordings or live settings.
