The Cardioid shares the tried-and-tested body of the best-selling Standard V2, but gives you far more control over what you record. Its cardioid pattern rejects sound from behind the mic and adds directivity, so you can set the pair in ORTF or experiment freely until you find the truest picture of your scene.
Premium sound, compact, affordable — the flexibility of Earsight in a directional version. Its self-noise sits a touch above the omni (which is built for the quietest recordings); the cardioid's sensitivity is tuned for more present sources: voices, instruments, sound design, nature… And you pick the capsule that fits your needs.
