A velocity microphone is a sensor whose electric output depends on the velocity of the air particles that form a sound wave . Examples are a hot-wire microphone and a ribbon microphone (bi-directional).
Velocity-sensitive microphones also respond much more to wind noise than pressure sensitive microphones (omnis). You get heavy bass tip-up or proximity effect if the sound source is close to the microphone. Cheers ebs

A velocity microphone is a type of microphone that responds to sound based on the air velocity near the diaphragm. It is sensitive to air movement and is often used in specialized applications such as measuring wind noise or in acoustic research.
