The Figure 8 Polar Pattern
The Figure 8 Polar Pattern
Figure-8 refers to a microphone's polar pattern. Figure-8 is also known as bi-directional.

In this case, the polar pattern actually looks like a figure eight, with both the front and the back of the microphone picking up sound equally, while there is almost complete rejection of sound from the sides.
