  Cardioid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
That is, a cardioid is a curve that can be produced as a locus — by tracing the path of a chosen point of a circle which rolls without slipping around another circle which is fixed but which has the same radius as the rolling circle.
The cardioid is an inverse transform of a parabola.
This cardioid is surrounded by a fractal arrangement of circles.

 Xah: Special Plane Curves: Cardioid
Cardioid is a special case of limacon of Pascal: a family of curves studied and named after Etienne Pascal (1588-1640), father of Blaise Pascal (1623-1662).
Cardioid is the pedal of a circle with respect to a fixed point on the circle.
Cardioid is also the conchoid of a circle of radius r with respect to a fixed point on the circle, and offset 2 r.

 Cardioid
The cardioid, a name first used by de Castillon in a paper in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Societyin 1741, is a curve that is the locus of a point on the circumference of circle rolling round the circumference of a circle of equal radius.
The pedal curve of the cardioid, where the cusp point is the pedal point, is Cayley's Sextic.

The cardioid is the envelope of the chords of a circle, between points P and Q, which follow the circle in the same direction, where one point has the double speed of the other.
Then the cardioid is the envelope of the circles with as diameter the line through the origin and a point on C. The first to study the curve was Römer (1674), followed by Vaumesle (1678) and Koërsma (1689).

 Cardioid Lavaliers
Cardioid Lavs are used for special situations and generally are not the typical lav mic.
A cardioid lav can be a very useful addition to a wireless kit but it should be used only under relatively controlled conditions.
Cardioids are fussy -- highly susceptible to wind noise and mechanical (handling) noise, and if they're not aimed precisely at the desired source of sound they're worse than omnis.

As if by magic, cardioid microphoness can pick up what they are aimed at, but reject sounds to the side and rear.
Cardioids are the most popular choice for this reason.

 SOUNDELUX UNVEILS THE E250 CARDIOID TUBE VOCAL MIC AT AES-BERLIN - Hardware   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA: Conceived and designed purely as a vocal microphone, the Soundelux E250 cardioid tube condenser is a rethinking of classic tube microphone design to address the inherent problems with the modern practice of close-miking loud vocals.
Classic tube condenser microphones were never meant to be placed within six-inches of loud vocalists, yet producers and engineers love the presence, size and low-frequency boost this adds to their artist's sound.
Another problem with close miking vocals is high-frequency directionality or the "beaming effect." This is where any slight head movement by the singer can produce a big change in the high-frequency content.

For AKG, the C-451 C (the "C" suffix indicates a DIN connector; the "E" designates a standard XLR output) was the first solid-state condenser mic using the then-new Field Effect Transistor (FET) instead of a tube.
The new capsule has the same cardioid polar pattern as the CK-1 because it has the same diameter and thickness.
Even without EQ, both snare drums and hi-hats sound crisp, sharp and "open." The cardioid pickup pattern is not too tight, which provides plenty of ambience for a close-miked instrument, while I can hear more drummer subtleties such as grace notes and stick drags.
