carefully designed polar patterns similar to those of the legendary C12 and C12 VR studio
microphones from AKG, providing the optimum polar pattern for best possible results in
the most diverse miking situations. All polar patterns are largely frequency‑independent
for realistic and uncolored off‑axis sound.
The LEDs below the selector indicate the selected polar pattern as shown below:
