 ===== Polar Patterns =====
-=== Cardioid ===
+==== Cardioid ====
+Cardioid mics have great rejection to the back of the mic. They are great for keeping extra noise from the stage out of the mic.\\
+Microphones with this pattern include:
+  * [[sm58|SM58]]
+  * [[sm57|SM57]]
+  * [[ksm8|KSM8]]
+  * [[ew835|E835]]
+  * [[sm137|SM137]]

 {{:cardioid_pic.png?300|}}
-=== Super-Cardioid ===
+----
+==== Super-Cardioid ====
+Super-Cardioid has more rejection than the Cardioid but develops a small lobe directly to the back of the mic.\\
+Microphones with this pattern include:
+  * [[beta52a|Beta 52A]]

-=== Hyper-Cardioid ===
+----
+==== Hyper-Cardioid ====
+Hyper-Cardioid has even more rejection than the Super-Cardioid but also has a larger lobe to the back of the mic.\\

-=== Omnidirectional ===
+----
+==== Omnidirectional ====
+Omnidirectional miss pic up equally around the entire mic.\\
+Microphones with this pattern include:
+  * [[dfine|DPA d:fine]]
+  * KSM137
+  * SM81
