Topic: New AKG c414 adds 4 other Patterns!!

Posted by Brian in another thread....

Please note:  I made some big assumptions in creating the pattern images, and the assumptions may or may not apply to the new C414.  The original post:

Here're some generic images of what the C34 (and I assume C422, as they use the same control box) patterns look like from each of the steps on the S42 selector box.  Big Assumption:  each step on the S42 adjusts the pattern in equal increments.  There are 9 steps on the S42 selector box, from omni (step 1) through cardioid (step 5) to figure-8 (step 9).

Found the interim steps interesting.  Looks like step 6 is similar to supercardioid and step 7 similar to hypercardioid.  Curious to try out the two interim positions between card and omni. 

Images generated with the Schoeps DMS plug-in.

Thanks Brian,  your chart is a good reference though.  I used quite a bit with my 426.
