Cardioid microphones have an inbuilt noise filtering feature, which prevents unwanted voices and noise to mix with the speaker's sound. This is the reason that these microphones are commonly used in open places, where there is air noise, crowd's noise or even traffic noise. At mass gatherings where too many people can be presented near the speaker or singer, these microphones become very useful tools in helping the speaker to reach their audience in clear words.
