The terms "cardioid, hyper-cardioid, super-cardioid, figure of eight, and omni" all describe the polar pattern of the microphone capsule.

The term "condensor" describes the operation of the transducer, which is the means to convert sound waves to an electrical energy.
Other types of acoustical transducers are ribbon and dynamic microphone elements.
