Sony BRAVIA XR A95L 77" 4K HDR Smart QD-OLED TV - Manual (Page 4)

Ultra-directional
Because of the adaptive beamforming technology employed by this unit, the target sound
from the front of the unit is captured while any other unnecessary sounds are significantly
reduced at the same time. Ultra-directional mode is recommended for making recordings
with minimum unnecessary sounds at close range, such as voices around the subject, while
keeping moderate environmental sounds at long range, such as the sound of a stream and a
chirping bird, in the recordings.
For details about the adaptive beamforming technology, see About the adaptive
beamforming technology.
Hint
The closer the subject is located to this unit, the clearer the sound can be picked.
Note
In the following cases, the sounds from the subject in front of this unit may not be recognized
and the audio in recordings may sound lower compared with the one recorded in other
directivity modes.
Recordings are made in spaces with strong echoes, such as a small room.
