Definition: An omnidirectional microphone is one of the easiest ways to get a natural, realistic sound. Omnidirectional microphones are microphones that pick up in a 360-degree pattern around the microphone capsule; this directly opposite to Cardioid microphones, which pick up in a heart-shaped 180 degree pattern. Omnidirectional microphones sound amazing for field recording and studio recording -- they're natural, and represent best what the human ear really hears.
Due to their accuracy, many times, omnidirectional microphones are more expensive than cardioid options.
