What we could not measure, was the better attenuation of surrounding
noise with the cardioid, like distant traffic noise. In some
situations, it is clearly audible that a cardioid attenuates
surrounding noise and that is why our "Twin Science" has both an omni
and a cardioid. The user has to learn how to use the two capsules
optimally. It is so different from situation to situation, that only
personal experience can give results.
