Then when he asked if the mic needed to be

Well, Dad is partially correct. All mics beam at high frequencies.
Every last one. Omnis too. The better omnis hold a better polar
pattern over the entire frequency range. Even measurement mics have
two different standards depending on whether the the sounds to be
measured are random or free field. See IEC 61672 (from 60651), IEC
61094 and ANSI S1.4 and S1.12.
