Why are there so many different microphones?
Different microphones are designed for different jobs. In addition to this there may be different microphones for the same job. Microphones come in many variations, different Polar Patterns, different Sensitivity, different Frequency Response and differing Proximity Effects.
What are “polar patterns”?
The "polar pattern" of a microphone indicates its sensitivity to sounds arriving from different directions. Omnidirectional microphones "hear" equally well in all directions while all others prefer sound from one (unidirectional) or two (bidirectional) directions.
