I'm just starting to work with CAD and need to recommend a microphone for recording tutorials and meetings. What are the differences between cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional polar patterns, and how do I choose the most suitable one based on the environment and distance to the speaker? Also, what role do sensitivity and frequency response play in capture quality? I'd appreciate simple opinions and explanations.
How does directional pickup affect the audio quality of a microphone?

Thanks for the explanation, the main difference is in how each pattern picks up sound: cardioid for controlled environments, omnidirectional for large rooms, and bidirectional for face-to-face interviews. Do you plan to use the mic within 30 cm of the speaker, or do you need to cover the entire room?
