Frequently Asked Questions

The omni is significantly more open and airy, lacking the focused presence of the cardioid. It's less colored and more 'true' to the source, but requires a good room.
Absolutely. It's a straightforward bayonet mount – just a gentle twist and it's in or out. No tools are needed whatsoever.
Yes, an omni capsule picks up *everything*. You’ll need to be mindful of room reflections and potentially use acoustic treatment to minimize unwanted noise.
