Hello Barcza. I wonder what they mean when they state " ... being particularly effective when the microphone has to be placed at a distance from the sound source." I think of using a mic for live use w/ DB as more of a close micing type of application, but I could be all wet. I'm curious if anyone has tried it too.

Hi Bolo!
Yes it sound strange but maybe it's olso good for close micing too becouse the Hypercardioid Polar pattern. I intrested in mics which ones has enough gain before feedback and dont pickup too mutch drums and symbals. I can give up some details of my sound for less feedback and more isolation.
