The C 522 MS is a single-point MS microphone for handheld and stand use, particularly as a reporter’s microphone. The pick up uses two capsules in MS mode but outputs in XY (left/right). The ratio of M to S can be changed to adjust the recording angle. An internal amp allows monitoring of the M & S signals on headphones.
