Funcionament del micròfon

Patrons polars

The TF47 microphone offers three selectable polar patterns, allowing for versatility in various recording situations. The polar pattern selector is located on the power supply unit.

• Unidirectional (Cardioid): This pattern picks up sound primarily from the front of the microphone, rejecting sound from the sides and rear. Ideal for isolating a single sound source.
• Bidirectional (Figure-8): This pattern picks up sound equally from the front and rear of the microphone, while rejecting sound from the sides. Suitable for recording two sources facing each other, such as a duet.
• Omnidireccional: This pattern picks up sound equally from all directions. Useful for capturing ambient room sound or multiple sources in a natural acoustic space.
