TYPICAL FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The 55SH Series II has a cardioid (unidirectional) polar
pickup pattern that minimizes sound pickup from the rear of
the microphone. This allows the Model 55SH Series II to be
used in close proximity to loudspeakers without creating
feedback problems, and it can perform under adverse
acoustic conditions where omnidirectional microphones
cannot.
