Omnidirectional

In all directions simultaneously. An omnidirectional microphone picks up sounds from all directions at the same time while an omnidirectional speaker puts out sound in all directions at the same time. Most speakers are not omnidirectional. Instead their speaker drivers face in a particular direction where most of the audio energy is directed (directional). Bipolar and dipolar speakers are more closely omnidirectional than traditional speakers systems but are still truly not omnidirectional.
