Understanding Microphone Types and Polar Patterns in Audio Production

Chapter Four of "Fundamentals of Audio Production" delves into the essential types of microphones including dynamic, condenser, ribbon, piezoelectric, and carbon, with a comparative overview of their functionalities. The chapter also explores polar patterns such as cardioid, hypercardioid, bidirectional, and omnidirectional, explaining how each pattern influences sound capture. Additionally, specialized microphones like lavalier and boundary effect microphones are discussed, along with the proximity effect and how to manage bass response using a roll-off switch.
