ringing.
Maintaining
acoustical
transparency
around
the
capsule
is
important
in
achieving
the
sonic
clarity
that
is
this
mic’s
signature.
The
output
cable
of
the
C720
terminates
in
a
7
‐
pin
XLR
type
connector.
An
adapter
is
provided
to
bring
front
and
back
outputs
to
normal
3
‐
pin
XLR
connectors.
Either
the
front
or
the
back
may
be
used
as
a
cardioid
microphone
–
just
plug
the
corresponding
connector
into
your
recording
chain.
Pattern
Control
The
user
may
accomplish
the
same
function
provided
by
a
traditional
pattern
control
switch
or
box,
by
connecting
the
front
and
back
signals
from
the
C720
to
two
inputs
on
a
mixer.
Use
just
the
front
signal
or
the
back
signal
for
a
front
‐
or
rear
‐
facing
cardioid.
Mix
the
two
signals
in
phase
to
make
an
omni
pattern,
or
flip
the
phase
of
the
rear
‐
facing
signal
and
mix,
to
make
a
figure
‐
8
pattern.
Any
intermediate
pattern
can
be
made
by
mixing
the
two
signals
in
different
proportions.
Use
this
chart
as
a
starting
point
for
your
own
experiments.

Where
the
geometry
is
appropriate
(for
instance,
in
an
ambient
room
pickup)
the
C720
may
also
be
used
as
a
stereo
microphone,
with
its
two
closely
matched
cardioid
capsules
facing
left
and
right.
About
Directional
Patterns
Microphones
achieve
their
directional
response
by
subtracting
sound
that
comes
from
some
directions,
from
the
overall
sound.
This
doesn’t
let
us
focus
a
beam
of
pickup
sensitivity
in
one
direction,
but
it
does
allow
us
to
steer
a
“null”
in
one
direction,
and
the
response
to
sounds
arriving
from
the
area
of
the
null
may
be
