When designing a near-field Bluetooth remote control that operates within 5cm, selecting the right microphone is essential for clear voice capture and effective noise cancellation.
Microphone Directionality Comparison
In close-range applications, the microphone’s directional pattern significantly affects noise rejection performance:
| Feature | Unidirectional Microphone | Bidirectional Microphone |
|---|---|---|
| Pickup Pattern | Front-focused | Front and rear |
| Noise Rejection | Excellent from sides/rear | Good from sides only |
| Close-Talk Performance | Optimal, minimal breath noise | May capture breath/plosives |
| Best For | Remote controls, headsets | Interviews, conversations |
Recommended Solution
For near-field Bluetooth remote controls, we recommend the unidirectional ECM-B1045UML50-25082 electret condenser microphone.
