MXL 770X Manual

Selectable Polar Patterns
The polar pattern of the microphone indicates how the microphone has been designed to
react to incoming sound waves. The 770X has the ability to switch between polar patterns to
best match the recording environment.
The Cardioid
the front of the microphone, less from the sides and has good
rejection of sounds to the back of the microphone. Select the
cardioid pattern for situations when you want to pick up specific
sound sources, such as a specific guitar within an ensemble,
and is recommended for recording applications where the
acoustics are good, but not perfect. For instance, a cardioid
pattern is less likely to pick up ambient noise from computers
Cardioid
and recording equipment.
The Omni-Directional
from all sides of the microphone. This is best used for recording
in environments with excellent acoustics, as the omni-
directional pickup excels at picking up ambient noise. The
omni-directional polar pattern is less sensitive to "plosives",
handling noise and the proximity effect.

proximity effect and are commonly used in Mid-Side (MS)
stereo recording setups.
