Rode K2 [10/16] Setting the polar pattern

- 10 -

• You are able to select any position between these

three main settings.

For example, if you choose a setting about halfway

between the omni and cardioid positions, you will

notice ‘some’ sound being picked up from the

rear of the microphone, instead of being almost

completely rejected (in cardioid). This can be

particularly useful when you do in fact wish for

‘some’ sound from the rear, but not so much as

when in omni mode.

• Experiment with the K2. Listen to the various

patterns, and decide what suits your current

application best.
