Open Cardioid
Schoeps developed the “Open Cardioid” directional pattern in 2008. It is ideal for use as a soloist or spot microphone. The polar diagram lies between that of the classic cardioid and the wide cardioid. It can be considered as a special variant of a cardioid which offers a good amount of directivity and a very natural sound. Its low-frequency response is somewhat more pronounced than that of the standard cardioid, while the degree of proximity effect is slightly less.

Microphone capsule MK 22
- new kind of directional pattern: “Open Cardioid”
- optimal combination of classic cardioid directionality (MK 4) with the sonic character of the wide cardioid (MK 21)
- directional pattern largely constant throughout the frequency range
- often preferred for spot miking and as a soloist’s microphone
