Sorry... my bad. I didn't look at the AT literature before I made my
comment. To be honest, I have no idea why they call it a capicitor
microphone. I couldn't find it on their web site. Every other high-end
manufacturer would call it a condensor mic. All it means is that it is a
microphone that needs phantom power to work. As for the Cardiod, that is
the pickup pattern of the microphone. It means that it is a pretty
directional mic.
