KR-3H Hyper-Cardioid Capsule
The KR-3H capsule is a 1/2 inch, "true condenser" design with a hypercardioid polar pattern. This capsule is recommended for recording situations were it is necessary to attenuate off axis sounds, particularly in areas/situations susceptible to acoustic feedback. The KR-3H can be used for vocal dialogue, stringed or solo instruments, percussion and even overhead recording where off-axis rejection (and pulling the sound "forward") is key to the desired effect. Many engineers use KR-3H capsules in boommounted dialogue mic (Film/TV) applications and then easily turn to use them as an articulate, closesounding X-Y stereo pair for music or sound effects. As effective in the music studio as it is on stage or in film and TV locations.

Taylor says:
"A classic hypercardioid that shines in Film/TV applications, yet also gives me great isolation even in tough percussion areas when I use a few of these to "pull" instruments out with smoothness and clarity."
