PUI Audio?'s unidirectional electret condenser microphones (ECMs) also known as cardioid microphones are purpose-built to only capture sound from one direction. Four holes on the rear of the microphone capsule focus the sweet spot of the microphone's polar pattern to directly in front of the microphone.

Excellent for use in recording a single acoustic source, unidirectional microphones are great as boom microphones to record sound at distance, rejecting unwanted noise, or are used in pairs for two-channel stereo recording.
