Cardioid/Omni. New QC, super low noise. NOTE: Slight variations of this mic product did exist. Admittedly a poorer version existed years ago, but now the newest version is simply the best version yet, and that's all we have now. Same money and QC check etc. We recommend this mic for micing close or midfield use, 6 inches to 3 feet distance. A remarkable mic with no stridency--- In its sound pickup, is perfect for small studio use. condition #10 Contact us for best pricing !
