Depending on what kind of sound you are recording, you can choose from four distinct pattern modes: Cardioid mode: Well-suited to podcasts, game streaming, vocals, and instruments, cardioid mode records sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone. It delivers a rich, full-bodied sound.Stereo mode: The stereo mode uses both the left and right channels, and is ideal for capturing a realistic sound image when there are multiple sound sources in front of the mic.Bidirectional mode: Bidirectional mode records from both the front and the rear of the microphone. It is ideal for recording an interview between two people.Omnidirectional mode: Omnidirectional mode picks up sound equally from all directions. It is best used in situations when you want to capture the ambience of “being there” - like a live recording of a band’s performance.
