These charts are a starting point for the sound provided. How the microphone
reacts in a particular application will differ depending on sound source,
orientation and distance from sound source, room acoustics and other factors.

SWITCHABLE POLAR PATTERNS
STEREO
Uses both the left and
right channels to capture
a wide, realistic sound
image—ideal for recording
acoustic guitar or choir.
OMNIDIRECTIONAL
Picks up sound equally from
all around the mic. It’s best used
in situations when you want to
capture the ambience of “being
there”—like recording a band’s
live performance, a multi-person
podcast or a conference call.
CARDIOID
Perfect for podcasts, game
streaming, vocal performances,
voiceovers and instruments.
Cardioid mode records sound
sources that are directly in front
of the microphone, delivering
rich, full-bodied sound.
BIDIRECTIONAL
Records from both the front
and rear of the microphone—
good for recording a duet or
a two-person interview.
