The C (cardioid) and H (hypercardioid) end caps 
modify your Earset’s directionality. The Earset should 
always have a protective cap in place to keep 
sweat, makeup and other foreign material out of the 
microphone.
The hypercardioid cap provides the best isolation 
from all directions, with a null towards the floor where 
“wedge” monitors are often placed. The hypercardioid 
is slightly more sensitive to air movement and 
handling noise and should always be used with a 
windscreen.
The cardioid cap is slightly less directional, with a 
null roughly towards the performer’s back. It’s most 
useful for tradeshow presenters or others who have a 
monitor speaker over their shoulders or behind them.
