The front diaphragm is available through the main XLR connection, while the rear diaphragm can be routed independently through the secondary mini-XLR output. This makes it possible to record both capsule signals onto separate tracks and determine or modify the effective polar response later in post-production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith Austrian Audio’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolarDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e software, the independently captured signals can be used to create customized polar patterns after recording.
