Microphone Placement
Use the following information to achieve the best results for 
each model variation. 
① Cardioid
The cardioid model captures sound in front of the microphone 
and rejects off-axis sounds. It is best suited to capture one 
person or a small group in close proximity to one another. 
② Omnidirectional
The omnidirectional model captures sound from all angles. It 
is ideal for capturing larger groups and sounds coming from 
multiple directions.
