than flat. There is a typical cardioid proximity effect. This could be particularly good for male
singers.

The polar pattern is cardioid with cardioid typical proximity effect. Frequency response relatively
flat. Well suited for female singers, jazz piano and some brass.

The polar pattern is hyper-cardioid. This position has more mid-range and less treble. This is well
suited for problem cases, such as shrill or thin voices or instruments. Could be good for solo
guitar, blues-harp or bass.
Position 6:
The polar pattern is figure-8. This position has very deep, bulgy mid-range and less treble. This
