Pressure Gradient: A microphone that is directional and will pick up sounds only in front and to the sides of the microphone.
Line Gradient: A microphone that is more directional and reject more sounds from the sides of the microphone.
Polar Pattern
A microphones’ polar pattern describes how sensitive it is to sound from each direction in relation to where it is facing.
Frequency Range
The range between the lowest and highest frequencies that a microphone will pick up.
Signal to Noise Ratio
Signal to noise ratio compares the level of the recorded sound to the level of electronic background noise (hiss).
Equivalent Noise
The level of electronic background noise (hiss) a microphone produces.
Maximum SPL
Maximum SPL (Sound Pressure Level) refers to the loudest sound a microphone can handle before it distorts.
Microphone Sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity is how well the microphone responds to quiet sounds. A sensitive microphone will give more output level when recording quiet sounds.
Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the difference between the quietest and loudest sounds the mic can pick up.
Maximum Output
The maximum available output of the microphone before distortion occurs.
Output Impedance
The electrical characteristics of the microphone output signal. With modern electronics, this is rarely of any consequence unless you are using very long cables.
Highpass filter
A filter that attenuates the level of low frequencies in your recording, to reduce unwanted rumble. The high frequencies pass through unaffected.
