The great Oktava MK-012's : cardiod or multi-capsule ?

[pifos_2]

Hello music people !!!!

I heard so many good things about thoses mics that I decided to give it a try. Anyway, I wanted to know if it's necessary for me to spend 150 extra euros for the multicapsules ones or if the MK012a/MK-012-01 cardio-only ones would be enough for me.

In which situations (recording what instruments ?) would the Hypercardioïd and omni characteristics would be convenient ?

I basically would like to use them for drum overheads, acoustic guitars and female voices and also for sampling snare (yep Oznimbus ).

Thanx for trying to help.

I think I figured out that omni and hyper-cardiod patterns won't be useful for me....
