Questions about Acoustic Guitar Microphones

What's the difference between a cardioid and omnidirectional acoustic guitar microphone?

Cardioid mics reject sound from the rear, reducing stage bleed; omni mics capture more of the room’s ambience but are prone to feedback.

Should I use a single microphone or a stereo pair for my acoustic guitar?

A single mic is simpler, good for focused sound; a stereo pair creates a wider, more immersive image, but requires careful placement.

What does 'phantom power' mean in the context of acoustic guitar microphones?

Phantom power is a DC voltage (typically 48V) supplied through the XLR cable, needed to power condenser microphones – check your interface or mixer supports it.
