Cardioid Loudspeakers
You may have heard of polar patterns within microphones… did you know that those same polar patterns also apply to loudspeakers? Understanding how different polar patterns affect the sound of a loudspeaker can help clean up bleed and stage volume drastically!
Key Points:
- The lower a frequency gets, the more omnidirectional it becomes.
- This can be combatted by combining polarity and delay timing with a rear-firing subwoofer to help make the subwoofer a cardioid speaker.
Pro Tip: Speaker positioning matters! Take some time and make sure you’re getting the most of your PA before doing huge frequency cuts.
