Single Point Stereo Microphone
Single point stereo microphones are microphones that record stereo sound and transfer that sound using a single plug—the single point. Some have dual microphone elements in a single capsule (whether a single cylindrical-shaped microphone, a T-shaped microphone) and others have two separate elements that are wired to a single site whether by a gooseneck connection or two cables that connect to a common plug.
The overwhelming majority of single point stereo mics end in a stereo miniplug, and are the suitable choice for portable recorders that accept stereo mini microphone inputs.
Common styles:
- compact T-microphones (shown)
- specialty stereo mics designed for specific recorders (shown, for iPod)
- compact cylinder microphones
- dual mini mics on gooseneck (shown)
- dual mics on cable (with sufficient length you have dual lapel mics)
Advantages:
Compact, portable. Well, they are compact
Disadvantages:
Depending on pickup pattern (omnidirectional, unidirectional), they may pick up more or less sound than what you want.
