It is also possible to vary the pattern continuously with some microphones, for example, the Røde NT2000 or CAD M179. All of them include some sort of wired USB connection for Windows PCs and Macs, and many also have a Bluetooth option so you can connect wirelessly. In practical use, speakers are sometimes used as microphones in applications where high bandwidth and sensitivity are not needed such as intercoms, walkie-talkies or video game voice chat peripherals, or when conventional microphones are in short supply.

Shure also boasts “CommShield Technology” to help guard against unwanted RF interference from smartphones and other wireless devices. After the two signals have been combined, sounds other than the intended source are greatly reduced, substantially increasing intelligibility. The cardioid response reduces pickup from the side and rear, helping to avoid feedback from the monitors. In passive microphones, this value relates closely to the impedance of the coil (or similar mechanism). This mic not only has USB connectivity to plug right into your laptop, but even has a built-in headphone and speaker monitoring jack, for those that want to ensure their voice is recorded in the best quality possible, without any annoying level spikes or drops.

Digital microphones may be used either with new equipment with appropriate input connections that conform to the AES42 standard, or else via a suitable interface box. Studio-quality microphones that operate in accordance with the AES42 standard are now available from a number of microphone manufacturers.
