What is the difference between an omnidirectional and cardioid lapel mic?

Omnidirectional mics pick up sound equally from all directions, while cardioid mics primarily capture sound from the front, rejecting sounds from the sides and rear. Cardioid patterns are generally better for noisy environments.

How can I minimize clothing noise when using a lapel microphone?

Use a foam windscreen, secure the mic firmly to clothing away from rustling areas, and consider using a clip designed to dampen vibrations.

What does 'phantom power' mean in relation to lapel microphones?

Phantom power is a DC voltage supplied through the microphone cable to power active lapel mics, allowing them to operate without an external battery.
