The idea behind their development is to combine the advantages of these two patterns. The low-frequency behavior of the \u003cstrong\u003eSchoeps MK 21\u003c\/strong\u003e is better than that of the cardioid, and proximity effect is less pronounced. The wide cardioid polar pattern is extremely consistent across the frequency range. Laterally-arriving direct sound and reflections are picked up without added coloration. The MK 21 is a very well-liked capsule. It is preferred when a slight directional effect and a warm, natural sound image are desired. Over the years it has become an integral part of the audio engineer's toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen used as a spot microphone, the distance from the sound source should be slightly smaller than when using a cardioid due to lower directivity index.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe low directivity of this capsule type prevents it from generating large enough level differences for X\/Y use, though MS and near-coincident spacings are often successful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schoeps Mikrofone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450460565607,"sku":"109071","price":2312.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/schoeps-mk-21-pair_109071_1_c6439acb-0a35-4c5c-bd8f-64afb3aee42a.jpg?v=1787093150","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/schoeps-mk21-capsules-matched-pair-dark-gray","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
