Low Cut

The Low Cut Switch cuts low frequency content below 100 Hz. Useful for voices and instruments to reduce low frequency rumble.

Pad

The Pad switch reduces the signal from the microphone by -10 dB. This is useful for high volume sources such as guitar cabinets, loud singers or a drum kit.

Omnidirectional

The Onmidirectional polar pattern captures sound from all directions on all sides of the microphone. This is good for recording a wide sound source, recording the sound of a room or capturing the sound of an instrumentalist who moves a lot.

Cardioid

The Cardioid pattern records whats in front of the microphone, ignoring everything else. It is ideal for vocals and can be used for a wide range of sources including drums, acoustic instruments and guitar cabinets.

Figure 8

The Figure 8 pattern is sensitive to sound sources at the back and front of the microphone - ignoring sounds on the sides of the microphone. Try this pattern when recording a duet, or a face-to-face interview.
