CS Series · Capsule Select Microphone Operating Notes Polar Pattern Every microphone has a characteristic polar pattern that determines the microphone’s sensitivity to signals coming from 360° around the microphone. The CS1 and CS2 capsules are unidirectional supercardioid, meaning that they predominantly pick up and reproduce sound originating directly in front of the microphone, with a coverage angle of approximately 115°, and rejects off-axis ambient sounds.
