Zoom MSH-6 MS microphone capsuleThe MSH-6 is a stereo capsule operating in MS rather than the more common XY stereo mode. The capsule contains two independent mic elements a forward facing Cardioid that provides the M and a side facing figure of eight that is the source of the S. MS recording has several advantages. First if you need the best mono compatibility, just discard the S and you have a forward facing cardioid, no frills just the mono you need. However recording in MS also has the advantage of allowing you to adjust the stereo width after recording. Yes, by adjusting the amount of S you add to your M you can vary width of the programme material in the comfort of your own studio. So enjoy the ultimate in stereo flexibility courtesy of the great Alan Blumlein, go on google the great man. The MSH-6 can be used with the H6, H5, Q8 U-44, F4, F8 and F8n Zoom recorders.
