What does 'polar pattern' refer to in the context of a large diaphragm microphone?

Polar pattern describes the microphone's sensitivity to sound from different directions; options like cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 offer varying pickup characteristics.

Why is 'self-noise' an important specification to consider?

Self-noise represents the inherent noise generated by the microphone's electronics; lower self-noise results in cleaner recordings, particularly for quiet sources.

What is the 'proximity effect' and how does it affect recordings?

The proximity effect is an increase in bass response when a sound source is close to the microphone; it can add warmth but also muddy the sound if not managed properly.
