Schoeps MK 22G Open Cardioid Microphone Capsule Overview:

The Open Cardioid directional pattern, occupying a point on the spectrum between the wide cardioid and classic cardioid patterns, was developed by SCHOEPS in 2008. The response is -5 dB at 90 and there is 16 dB suppression of rear-incident sound. It is in essence a variant cardioid which balances a very natural sound quality with a good degree of directionality.

Features:

• New kind of directional pattern: Open Cardioid
• Optimal combination of classic cardioid directionality (MK 4) with the sonic character of the wide cardioid (MK 21)
• Directional pattern largely constant throughout the frequency range
• Often preferred for spot miking and as a soloists microphone
