Directionality describes how a microphone picks up sound from different angles. An omnidirectional microphone is designed to pick up sound from all directions equally, giving a near-spherical pickup pattern. This means it does not favor sounds from the front, back, or sides. The statement that captures this best is that it captures equally from all directions. Other descriptions refer to different mic characteristics: one-directional mics pick up mainly from one direction, frequency response specifics (like boosting high frequencies) aren’t about direction, and a highly directional mic is the opposite of omnidirectional.
