Hyperkardioideja

Hyperkardioideja, also known as a hypercardioid microphone, is a specialized type of directional microphone designed to provide enhanced rejection of off-axis sound while maintaining sensitivity to sound coming from the front. It is an advanced variation of the cardioid polar pattern, which itself is a directional microphone pattern that captures sound primarily from the front while minimizing sound from the sides and rear.

The hypercardioid pattern extends the rejection of off-axis sound further than a cardioid, creating a narrower pickup zone. This is achieved by increasing the proximity effect and reducing sensitivity to sounds coming from the sides and rear, often resulting in a more focused and controlled sound capture. The hypercardioid pattern typically exhibits a figure-eight shape when viewed in a polar plot, but with a more pronounced lobe at the front and a narrower rear rejection compared to a cardioid.

Hyperkardioideja microphones are commonly used in professional audio applications where precise sound isolation is required. These include live sound reinforcement, studio recording, and broadcasting. Their ability to minimize unwanted noise and feedback makes them particularly useful in environments with significant background interference. However, due to their narrow pickup pattern, hypercardioid microphones can be more sensitive to proximity effect, which may require careful placement and equalization to achieve optimal results.

The design of hyperkardioideja microphones often incorporates advanced technology to manage phase cancellation and maintain clarity. They are typically used in conjunction with other microphones to achieve balanced and professional sound recordings. While they offer superior directionality, their use may require some experimentation to fully leverage their capabilities in various acoustic environments.
