The MV88 features two capsules: one capsule has a cardioid pattern, which picks up sound directly in front of the microphone. The other is bidirectional,

and captures sound from the left and right sides.

Adjusting the Microphone

For accurate stereo recordings in any position, the front of the microphone must be pointed towards the sound source, with the sides facing the appropri-

ate orientation. Use the L and R indicators on the microphone barrel to ensure correct placement.

Note: The Left-Right Channel Swap feature allows you to switch orientation on the microphone if the swap is necessary.
