[[Microphone Directionality#Supercardioid_/_Hypercardioid|Supercardioid/Hypercardioid]] is better than [[Microphone Directionality#Cardioid|Cardioid]], which is better than [[Microphone Directionality#Omnidirectional Microphone|Omnidirectional]]. All sound waves impinging on the microphone from a direction other than the intended signal is "noise" and will lower the threshold of feedback. | ||
Directional microphones "collect" less sound from directions other than what they're supposed to amplify (the voice, or an instrument) and hence are less likely to feed back. | Directional microphones "collect" less sound from directions other than what they're supposed to amplify (the voice, or an instrument) and hence are less likely to feed back. | ||
