Polar Response - Cardioid Microphones Notice on the Earthworks Cardioid Microphone polar how close together the various high frequencies are from 270° to 0° to 90°. This uniform polar response will allow those at the sides of the microphone to have the same sound quality as those at the front. In addition, it will provide significantly more sound level before acoustic feedback. 500 1K 2K 4K 8K 15K Earthworks SR30 Cardioid Competitive Cardioid Polar Response - Omnidirectional Microphones The conventional omni microphone at 90° has a loss of 16dB at 20kHz, while the Earthworks omni microphone at 90° only has a loss of 4dB at 20kHz and at 180º its loss is only 7dB. 1K 5K 10K 20K Earthworks M30 Omni Competitive Omni Coverage Area Conventional Podium Earthworks Podium Microphone Polar Microphone Polar Response Top View Response Top View Polar Response of a Conventional Podium Microphone (notice the narrow pick-up pattern, which will Polar Response of an Earthworks Podium Microphone cause the loss of high frequencies above, (notice the wide pick-up pattern, which will prevent the loss of high frequencies below, and at the sides of the microphone) above, below, and at the sides of the microphone) Coverage Area Microphones Covering a Room with Full Frequency Response (6 foot man in room with 8 foot ceiling - drawn to scale) 2 Conventional Microphones 4 Conventional Microphones 8 Conventional Microphones 2 Earthworks Microphones Houses of Worship - Conventional Choir Microphones The narrow usable portion of a conventional microphone’s polar response (with full frequency response) provides only a narrow area that will pick up sounds without high frequency losses at the sides of the microphone. The pink area indicates how many conventional microphones it takes to cover an 80-voice choir without high frequency losses. The green areas (on the next page) show the much wider polar response (with full frequency response) of Earthworks directional High Definition Microphones™, requiring fewer microphones to cover an 80-voice choir. In addition, you have more sound level before feedback, no spotlighting or highlighting, more rejection of sounds from the rear of the microphone, as well as vastly superior sound quality.
