Omnis are ideal as hand held vocal mics.


** Only true for film and TV interview work.

When sound reinforcement is in place, the extra gain before
feedback of a cardioid ** VOCAL MIC ** is almost essential.

The proximity effect also adds to that extra gain very significantly.


Well of course the traditional large diaphragm condenser mics were all
switchable between omni, cardioid and fig eight due to having two
diaphragms one on each side of the capsule.

** True.

By matrixing these you get the various DPs.


** Totally FALSE !!!!!!

No matrixing of two signals is involved, a far simpler and more
technically elegant method is used.

See the schematic of any famous " variable pattern " condenser
mic for the details.

Cos this know nothing, PIG IGNORANT pommy ****

HAS NO ****ING IDEA !!
