Operation
Polar Patterns
To select the microphone’s polar pattern, turn the Pattern
Selector knob to the desired setting.
Figure 8 (bidirectional)
Bidirectional means that the microphone picks up sound at the front and rear of the microphone.
Sound from the sides of the microphone is not picked up. Use this pattern setting with two or more
subjects (one source facing the front of the microphone and the other source facing the back of the
microphone) for interviews, instruments, or vocal duets.
Cardioid
Cardioid means that the microphone picks up sound directly in front of the microphone. Sound from
the sides and rear of the microphone is not picked up. This pattern setting is ideal for use with
podcasts, voiceovers, vocals, and instruments.
