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.
