Line 24:

; Unidirectional Microphone

Unidirectional microphones are sensitive to sound coming from only one direction. Examples:

* a vocalist singing directly on axis directly into the microphone

* a vocalist singing directly on axis, directly into the microphone

* a guitar amplifier with the microphone aimed directly at the speaker cone

Line 34:

Although you will get better gain-before-feedback from a cardioid microphone than an omnidirectional microphone, you will get better gain-before-feedback from a supercardioid or hypercardioid microphone (see next section).

Examples of common cardioid microphones (good to great microphones but not necessarily the best for gain-before-feedback with Bose L1 systems)
