Hypercardioid

Common name: Sontronics Hypercardioid

Production Status: In production

The Hypercardioid is a small diaphragm condenser capsule capsule for the STC-1 and STC-1S microphones with excellent directionality, making it ideal for isolating sound sources in noisy or reverberant environments. This capsule provides greater side rejection than standard cardioid patterns, ensuring more focused audio capture with minimal off-axis interference. It is available in silver or black finish to match STC-1 or STC-1S microphones.
