CONT: An omnidirectional microphone is one that is designed to be equally sensitive to sounds coming from all directions. The pickup pattern of an ""omni"" mike is thus described as circular. Actually, it's spherical. These mikes work well for picking up a single sound sporce in another wise quiet environment, or for picking the total sound from several sources, if there is no need to have separate control over the volume of any individual source. ... omnidirectional microphones are best used when it's desirable to pick up all the sounds in a given environment.
