Recording Patterns
Unidirectional (cardioid) - pickup patterns are most
  sensitive to sound produced on the front side of the
  microphone capsule. Super-cardioidpickup patterns have
  a greater sensitivity than cardioid pickup patterns

Omnidirectional (boundary) - pickup patterns are
  sensitive to sound from all directions of the microphone
  capsule


Bidirectional (figure 8) - pickup patterns are
  sensitive to signals emanating from the front and back
  sides of the microphone capsule while rejecting sounds
  from the left and right sides of the microphone capsule

Types of Microphones
Dynamic microphones - a physical cone acts like
 a lens to concentrate the incoming sound waves.


Ribbon microphones - Ribbon microphones consist
 of a thin strip of metallic foil suspended in front of a
 magnetic plate.


Condenser microphones - Rather than a vibrating
 wire coil, condenser microphones have a thin diaphragm
 and solid back plate which make up an electronic
 component known as a capacitor.

Types of Microphones
Wired microphones – wired mics offer reliable
  connections and can cost less than wireless mics


Handheld wireless - are literally held in the hand of a
  presenter or a vocalist. In this way the microphones can be
  used as a prop in a performance


Hands-free wireless - come in three popular
  configurations, lapel (or lavaliere) wireless
  microphones, collar wireless microphones and headband
  wireless microphones
