  • MIR Pro: Polar Pattern Consistency / Sensitivity

    I know you can't have a decca tree setup in MIR Pro, but I'm experimenting with the omni options you have available, and I quite like the sound. I read a lot about microphones (especially about those used on Hollywood scoring stages like the M50) and stumpled upon their polar patterns. I think the polar patterns in MIR Pro are consistent across the frequencies?

    I'm wondering if it would be an interesting option/feature to be able to change the polar pattern based on the frequency and thus "imitate" a specific microphone, like e.g. the M50 which is omni and starts getting more cardioid on the higher frequencies.

    Or isn't this possible with the underlying concept of MIR Pro?


  • We could try to mimic this by means of two parallel instances and a crossover filter, I assume, but due to the fact that an Omni capsule will entail a mono(ish) output signal in any case the actual real-world benefit would be minimal in MIR Pro.

    Interesting question, though! :-)
