
Cardioid (center setting): This is a standard setting for recording and
gives excellent results on all kinds of voices and a wide range of
instruments. Remember to aim the microphone front at the sound source.

Figure eight (right-hand setting): The microphone will pick up sounds
arriving from the front and rear with equal sensitivity. Use this mode to mic
up the side signal in M/S stereo recording or to record two sound sources
(talkers, instruments) facing each other. It is also a good choice for cymbal
overhead miking.

Omnidirectional (left-hand setting): This is the preferred setting for "all
around the mic" recording, high quality ambience (audience sound) miking,
or far-field recording in exceptionally good-sounding large or small
recording rooms, etc.
