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.

Maybe marketing ploy? I figured that the directional mic would be more
ideal, as it would not pick up extraneous sounds as much. Cardiod is what
the big guys use yes?
So I get all ready to record a student making a tape for Interlochen.
The mixer won't power up. Jeeeeez. Got to go exchange it. No mixer, no
power to mic. Murphys law wins this time.
