EM21 is a cardioid capsule, sister to the omni EM23, the same cardioid as
in Telinga Twin Science mic.
Facing back-to-back is often best when the sound is distant. When the sound
is close, like a voice or a violin, it is sometimes better to keep the
membranes as close to one another as possible.
Just came to think about it - the microphone body of Twin Science will be a
good(?) eight, if one uses two EM21 instead of 1 EM21 and 1 EM23! It won't
be an excellent eight, unless one is just very lucky. Good eights are very
difficult to design, as each capsule has to have it's backside membrane
dampening adjusted. Among other things. But for experimental, why not? The
noise is only about 14 dbA and I think I could supply it "raw" with two
cables hanging out for some 400 dollars. Just for fun.
