Omni mics are superior...




in many ways. a cardioid mic (directional) is not equally directional across all frequencies, in the same way a baffled loudspeaker is not equally directional across all frequencies. Since recording environments are not anechoic, the room energy is better represented by an omni microphone. In loudspeakers, Toole (JBL/Harmon) and others have research supporting that a smooth off axis loudspeaker response is important -(as important) as a flat on axis initial arrival.

I have been a fan and owner of many omni, dipole and other diffuse field supporting loudspeakers.
