in theory, it should be an omni mic, but in practice, cardioids work better=
. all you need to make sure is that it is a widish cardioid, so it 'sees' t=
he whole dish and not just a small part.

up...


Recently I asked the group to recommend a good relatively low cost
microphone for use in the 22" parabolic mic setup I am building. I was
suprised that one of the mics was a omni (the AT3032)... now I AM
truely confused as I was under the impression that a cardioid would be
better by rejecting sound from anywhere other then the focal point of
the reflector. Please share your expertise with this newbie! Help!
Thanks, Chris
