General Functions

Polar Patterns
Cardioid
The cardioid polar pattern is focusing audio capture in front of the capsule, minimizes unwanted ambient sound from the other sides and back of the microphone. This polar pattern is suitable for such situations when you want to pick up specific sound sources, such as recording vocals, guitar, pianos, stringed instruments, and more.

Omni-directional
The omni-directional polar pattern will in principle pick up sound equally from all directions. Whether the sound resource from the front, the side, or even back, the microphone will record the signals all with equal gain. This polar pattern can be very useful in applications where sound needs to be recorded from multiple directions, such as a musical performance where there is a band of musical instruments in front and a choir singing behind.

Bi-directional
Bidirectional polar pattern is figure-of-eight pattern and picks up sound equal sensitivity from two opposite directions, front and back of the microphone, and with low sensitivity from the sides. This polar pattern is best suited for interview, Q&A lecture or presentation, acoustic instruments, and for live recordings of jazz and acoustic groups.

High-Pass Filter
A low-cut filter at 150 Hz allows you to eliminate low frequency hum and other lowfrequency noises.

A -10 dB Pad Switch
A -10 dB pad switch provides more headroom when capturing transient signals that may otherwise cause peak distortion.
