What polar pattern should I use? The Z5600a MKII provides you with a whole host of polar patterns to use when recording. Cardioid is excellent for providing a tight focused sound with great rejection of around 6dB on off-axis sources. This is an ideal pattern to use if youre recording in an untreated room which may introduce undesirable reflections. It is also popular for live performances. Fig. 8 picks up sound from the front and rear of the diaphragm but not the sides. This polar pattern was used on many classic recordings to capture harmonies from two vocalists simultaneously. This polar pattern increases proximity effect making it great to use should you desire to record an intimate vocal part. Omni-directional captures sound from every angle. This is as natural as it gets. Youre best using this if you want to document the way in which a room responds to your performance. This is why many pro-engineers opt to use this polar pattern on room microphones to add a unique sense of depth to their recordings. Omni is also great for getting up close to the microphone without having to worry about an increase in proximity effect.
