For Bi-directional (microphone) we have a term and definition in Music Technology.

Microphone that will pick up sounds which are emanating from the front of the microphone (on-axis), and the rear of the microphone (off-axis), and largely reject those to the side. Also described as a "figure of eight" microphone, as the field pattern just described corresponds to that of the figure eight.
