Hypercardioid
A type of microphone pick-up pattern. Similar in shape to a cardioid pattern, except that the sides have the greatest amount of rejection, as opposed to a cardioid pattern where the rear of the microphone has the least sensitivity.

AKG D95S applications ?
Hi,
Have this AKG D95 S mic but can't find much more about it than that it's a hypercardioid dynamic.
and that the 'S' in its name indicates that is has a switch. Seems to be a vocal mic.
Who knows more, what kind of other uses could this mic have ? Speaker-Micing perhaps ?
Thanks,
Peter

Hypercardioid pattern: Too tight for single overhead?
Your thoughts requested, especially impressions from any who've tried this. What I'm contemplating is using my new Beyer M260 with Sank mod as a single drum overhead in Fletcher's three-mic technique. I'm a week out from this session, and wondering if its hypercardioid pickup will present too tight an image.
