Overview - M 221 - MK 22 / MK 23 - MK 24 / MK 240 - MK 241 - M 934 / MK 25 - MK 26 - MK 28 ___________________________________________________________________________________

The Switchable Omni / Cardioid / Figure-Eight Capsule MK 26 - omni, cardioid and figure-eight, mechanically switchable - very broad range of applications - main axis: lateral (perpendicular to the microphone body) Thanks to its special mechanical pattern-switching arrangement, three directional patterns can be selected with the MK 26, in the omnidirectional setting it is a true pressure transducer with flat response down to the lowest frequencies. As with the M 934 B, the patterns are set mechanically, without any useful intermediate position. When the ribbed cap of the capsule is rotated, a system of internal shutters alters the acoustic chambering around the diaphragm to change its characteristic from omni to cardioid to figure-eight, then back through cardioid to omni. There is no functional difference between the two cardioid positions.
