Aah, it's so gratifying when watching this video on a Saturday morning and all the right answers are selected as if my mind was read. It's good to have a Captain and a Doctor in the house.

By far the VERY best explanation about polar patterns. Thank you!

I’m surprised these Captain Pikant videos don’t have way more views by now. They’re so well done in both substance and style.

[@chalberk]

The typical polar pattern diagrams show the sensitivity at some angle, but how do we determine sensitivity over distance? This is important to know, for example, when you are trying to minimize bleed from a guitar in the vocalists lap. But I cannot find any such 3D diagrams depicting such a metric. Speakers sensitivity over distance is shown in decibels per 1 watt per 1 meter. Why not a similar unit or metric for microphone sensitivity ?

It's a modded Vermona DRM-1 Drum Synthesizer ;)
