Choose a '''directional microphone''' to maximize gain‑before‑feedback. A [[Microphone Directionality#Supercardioid_/_Hypercardioid|Supercardioid~~/Hypercardioid~~]] pattern provides the strongest focus on the intended source, followed by [[Microphone Directionality#Cardioid|Cardioid]], with [[Microphone Directionality#Omnidirectional Microphone|Omnidirectional]] offering the widest pickup (the least desirable in most live sound applications).

Directional microphones excel because they emphasize the desired sound—such as a voice or instrument—while naturally reducing sound arriving from other directions. This focused pickup helps maintain clarity and increases the system’s resistance to feedback.
