- 8 -

• Your K2 can be adjusted to any Polar Pattern from

omni, through cardioid to ﬁ gure of eight. This

ﬂ exibility allows recording of most instruments

and/or voices with absolute control.

• Select the preferred Polar Pattern. This is done

with the circular dial (knob) on the front of the K2

Power Supply. (The most commonly used pattern

for vocal recording is Cardioid – at the 12 o’clock

position).

• When the cardioid position is selected, the

microphone picks up sound from in front of the

microphone, and rejects sound from the rear.
