[Music] hey and welcome to how to AV TV my name is Tom Coleman and I'm a senior applications engineer at Shaw UK and today we're going to be talking about gooseneck microphones used in microphones first and foremost are a microphone firstly designed for AV and conferencing environments or environments where you need to have spoken word being picked up but where the presenter does not want to use a handheld microphone firstly they pick up sound from the top area here and it comes usually what we call a directional microphone picking up sound in a fairly wide pattern which is called cardioid or you could use a super cardioid which is slightly tighter more closed polar pattern so the microphone which may or may not have a windshield to protect against breath noise and that kind of stuff will be mounted on the end of a gooseneck which can range anywhere between about 5 to 18 inches in lengt
