- Cardioid - records sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone, delivering rich, full-bodied sound.
- Stereo - Uses both the left and right channels to capture a wide, realistic sound image—ideal for recording acoustic guitar or choir and immersive experiences.

- Bidirectional - Records from both the front and rear of the microphone—good for recording a duet or a two-person interview.
