I did say "many ... but, not all..."
A better microphone for noise rejection is a cardioid, and not

And don't leave out Bob Heil... he claims to have a microphone with
no proximity effect and I have seen him demonstrate it in person
at Dayton. He makes a pretty credible case for it with his demonstration.
