Switch C serves to set the mic to five
different pick-up patterns:
The push-pull transducer incorporated
into the MKH 80 reduces the mic´s
directivity to a minimum for high
frequencies. The mic has a neutral
response to direct and diffuse signals.
This feature provides a sense of space
and depth and allows large sound
sources to be miked. For close-miking,
C
sound reproduction does not become
overbrilliant or shrill. No proximity
effect.
The wide-angle cardioid pick-up
pattern is a combination of the
omnidirectional and the cardioid pick-
up pattern. A rear attenuation of 10 dB
allows a moderate attenuation of
diffuse signals from the rear and thus a
good reverberation balance for longer
distances to the sound source, even in
rooms which are acoustically less
perfect. Like the omnidirectional pick-
up pattern, the wide-angle cardioid
pick-up pattern is particularly well
suited to mike large sound sources.
For close-miking, the mic´s bass
emphasis is less high than with the
cardioid pick-up pattern.
