MICROPHONE FISHPOLES n film and TV shooting, a microphone fishpole is of- ten used to get the microphone as close to the speaker as possible in a given situation. Shotgun microphones are frequently used for this. But miniature microphones – for example, ones with a hypercardioid pattern – pro- duce comparable directivity indices. When working in small spaces with microphones placed near sound-re- flecting walls, the cardioid pattern can be very advanta- geous, since it does the best job of minim
