>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.

Capacitor is the current engineering term for what used to be called
condenser. The change over in engineering occurred about 50 years ago (I
remember it happening!). Looks like the music industry is catching up!
