Which microphone picks up sound from two opposite directions?

Explanation:
A microphone that picks up sound from two opposite directions uses a bidirectional pickup pattern, often described as a figure-8. This design is sensitive to sound from the front and the back while rejecting sound from the sides, so it captures two opposing sources or two areas at once. Omnidirectional mics pick up from all directions equally, unidirectional mics focus on a single direction, and stereo mics are arranged for creating left-right channel separation rather than a two-directional pickup in one capsule.
