Wide Cardioids / Open Cardioid
MK 21 MK 21H
– wide cardioids
– polar pattern very well maintained
throughout the frequency range
– a favorable compromise between
omni (good low-frequency response)
and cardioid (consistent directional
pattern at all frequencies)
Suggested applications:
MK 21: music (orchestras), spot micro-
phone; vocals; speech
MK 21H: wherever a high-frequency
elevation is desired, esp. non-classi-
cal music
MK 22
– new kind of directional pattern:
"Open Cadioid"
– optimal combination of classic car-
dioid directionality (MK 4) with the
sonic character of the wide cardioid
(MK 21)
– directional pattern largely constant
throughout the frequency range
Suggested applications:
as spot / soloist's microphone
