facing sideways. The figure-eight micro-
phone picks up the left half of the source
with one phase and the right half with the
inverted phase. When the signal is added
to the signal from the cardioid, the sig-
nals from the left side are added together,
while the signal from the right subtract
due to the phase inversion. The combined
pattern of the two microphones is similar
to two cardioids (or figure eight) facing 45
degrees to the left and the other cardiod
facing 45 degrees to the right to create
the stereo image. Why don’t we use two
cardioids 90 degrees apart? That will do
something entirely different! With the M-
S system, the related angle of the
cardioids can be varied according to the
level of S (figure eight), and this will vary
the width of the stereo image.
8 LEVEL
A rotary fader determines the proportion
of the channel in the mix and provides a
clear visual indication of channel level.
9 M-S SWITCH
To create your stereo sound image, sim-
ply slide the switcher to MS and you get
a M-S stereo recording.
If you want to make a M-S stereo
recording, usually, you will need 2
microphones, one is cardioid for M sig-
nal pointing at the center, and the other
is figure-eight microphone for S signal
pointing to the side. In order to decode
the MS signal to XY, you need 3 chan-
nels of Mic input to start with, one for M
and the other two for +S and -S
accordingly. MM series’ unique feature -
the MS switch - will help simplify the whole
process. Now you will not have to worry
about the channel availability, and patch-
ing with a special cable. When you have
an occasion to make a stereo recording,
please just choose the MM series mixer
and simply slide the M-S switch down.
The mixer will prepare everything itself.
The odd channel will now become the M
channel. The even channel will become
the S channel-just plug and play.
M-S STEREO RECORDING
M-S is an abbreviation for mid-side, the
microphones used for M-S recording are
a cardioid microphone facing directly to
the source, and a figure-eight microphone
