Why is the cardioid pickup patt ern beneficial? ------ CORRECT ANSWER -----This pickup pattern is beneficial for capturing a single voice located in front of a microphone while rejecting additional ambient room sound from behind the microphone and lower sensitivity to the sides. In additio n to the cardioid pickup pattern, there are super -cardioid and hyper - cardioid patterns which have more narrow areas of sensitivity while rejecting more sound from the back and sides.

They also tend to be heavier, and this can be a negative factor if you are a mobile reporter. 3 | P a g e 100% ACCURATE. A+ GRADED. BETTER THE BEST. What is a gooseneck microphone? ------ CORRECT ANSWER -----These mi crophones have a solid base which rests on a desk or table. From the base, a long flexible neck with a narrow condenser microphone attached to the end extends out towards the speaker.

What is a low -profile boundary microphone? ------ CORRECT ANSWER -----Microphones that lay flat on a desk or table and are commonly no more than an inch or two thick.

What is a lavalier microphone? ------ CORRECT ANSWER -----An extremely small condenser microphone that attaches directly to the speaker. These microphones are particularly useful when the environment does not offer an opportunity to place a microphone in front of a speaker.

Should you include volumes in the title page fo r multi -day cases? ------ CORRECT ANSWER -----
