Hello, Does someone knows something about unidirectional microphones that can fit on a breadboard?? Where can I find them? I cannot find anything available I can use for a project... Thanks in advance. |

Not knowing anything about microphones is a omni-directional microphone unidirectional? If so try Mouser page 1818 in their catalog, or search their web site for "OMNI-DIRECTIONAL ELECTRET CONDENSER MICROPHONE ELEMENTS" part number 254-05KP0B-RD. Not that I would probable ever need to know but what is a unidirectional microphone any way? What is your project? Ralph |

Hi, I need an unidirectional mic so I can obtain sounds in a 180 degrees range (or maybe less), and not hear background noise. I am working on a project similar to a sonar application. |

Couldn't you put a cone around a mike and make it unidirectional? Ralph |

Look for them with the cardioid pattern description. They are somewhat directional. To make them even more directional, a parabolic reflector like a "big ear" mic works well. There is also what is called a "shot gun" mic but it takes a lot of work, trial and error to get one to work right. |
