Which polar pattern should I use? Boasting three polar patterns the TLM 67 is a real work-horse; Cardioid is excellent for delivering a tight-focused sound whilst providing excellent off-axis rejection of around -6dB of unwanted noise and ambience. This is a great polar pattern to rely on when recording live performances either on-stage or in-the-studio. Fig. 8 picks up sound from the front and the back of the capsule whilst rejecting all sound coming from the side. This pattern has been a go-to trick for many producers recording two background vocals. When paired with another fig.8 microphone and carefully positioned it can also work wonders on capturing vocals and guitar from a single performer simultaneously. However beware. Utilising this positioning enhances close proximity effect which can lead to an unnatural amount of low-end being reproduced by the microphone. Theres good reason why many radio broadcasters opt for this pattern! When you want to capture natural recordings it doesnt get much better than omni. Omnidirectional means that sound is picked up by the capsule within a 360 degree radius. Selecting this pattern allows you to get up-close on sources without the risk of proximity effect being introduced. This is a favoured pattern for many Grammy award winning engineers and producers when recording multiple string and brass players. It can also make the “Levee Break” when heavily compressed and used for drum room microphones! Get the sound right at source The versatile microphone features control settings that allow you to adapt to the ever changing activities within professional studio environments. A pre-attenuation switch on the back of the microphone reduces transmission levels by 10 dB to help deal with extremely high sound pressure levels. This allows you to record loud sources such as drums and amplifiers free from the risk of distortion. The high-pass filter switch also ensures reduction of impact sound and wind noise by changing the cut-off point of low frequencies.
