Blue Microphones' proprietary tri-capsule technology gives you four distinct pattern modes to choose from:

PATTERN MODES

CARDIOID MODE

Perfect for podcasting, Twitch streaming, music recording, voice overs and instruments. Cardioid mode records sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone, delivering rich, full-bodied sound.

STEREO MODE

Uses both the left and right channels to capture a wide, realistic sound imageideal for recording acoustic guitar or choir and immersive experiences like ASMR videos.

OMNIDIRECTIONAL MODE

Picks up sound equally from all around the mic. Its best used in situations when you want to capture the ambience of "being there"like recording a band's live performance, a multi-person podcast or a conference call.

BIDIRECTIONAL

Records from both the front and rear of the microphonegood for recording a duet or a two-person interview.
