Description

This cardioid capsule is designed for the very closest speech pickup, i.e. directly in front of the speaker’s mouth.

Its low-frequency roll-off is compensated by the proximity effect. Thus it has (up to the point of its high-frequency emphasis) a flat frequency response for the speaker’s voice while showing a roll-off at low frequencies for all sound that originates from a greater distance. As a result, background sounds are picked up less strongly than the person speaking.

PROPERTIES

• Cardioid, side-addressed for close speech pickup (<20 cm)
• Low-frequency response roll-off (-6 dB at 100 Hz)
• Polar diagram identical as MK 4V
• Preferred applications: close speech pickup, also available in the HSC 4VP headset
