Omni or directional? Condenser or dynamic? Another dusk-set video, today we're going over different types of microphones, including transducer type and polar (pickup) patterns. I'll talk about the technical differences, and then the practical applications of the different technologies. especially relating to field recording and production sound.

Thank you for stopping by, please leave a comment if there's something I've overlooked or any questions you may have. Cheers
